Hello,
...
Well... as there is countries flags in "svg" format you
need librsvg, right....
librsvg need cargo (according designer, to be able to
easily set the compilation debug flag (?)), and cargo
is embedded with rustc...
Wohhh... I have seen Email with a subject as "I hate rustc".....
Lets figure this out.
#metoo, "I hate rustc".
- 2 Build, hours apart won't give the same result, event
if it is the same version number.
- As package is huge (2Gig), compilation time is out
of control.
- No way to compile without being on the net.
- Its a "package deal" coming with own basic libraries set
(doubling the bugs surface)
- RPM file is near 600 Megs....
(600 Megs for a compiler???, some time ago, I designed a
YACC parser in UCSD-pascal, within the Apple-II 64kbyte memory,
and it was able to compile its own YACC definition and rebuild
itself..., come on, 600 Megs for compiler...).
- Rustc project seems to be a biological chimera between
C (language) and modula2 (units implementation and
standardization)
- I wonder if rustc is an experimentation or a "coding bad trip".
I (strongly) think rustc should be outcasted From Linux From Scratch.

I have never updated librsvg beyond 2.40.20, so no rustc on my
systems. X11/Xfce works well so far. Ok, i also do not install firefox
(systems are mainly servers) and i'm looking for alternatives.
Just curious, but why do you install X11 on your servers? At most, you
would only need a text based browser, but I find I don't need that either.

Does firefox *require* newer versions of librsvg or is it just because
we have newer versions in book?
Currently looking at Vivaldi - a chromium based browser. But source
tarball is 1GB in size - so my hope for something lightweight is
rather small.
