Package: rustc Version: 1.91.1+dfsg1-1 Severity: normal Hi,
rustc includes a script, debian/make_orig-stage0_tarball.sh, to create a stage0.orig.tar.xz that can be used to bootstrap rustc. I don't think that's used much, since new updates in Debian sid will use X-1 from sid to build. However, when uploading a (much newer) version to (old)stable, we don't have X-1, so we need to create and use a -stage0 tarball. The issue I find is that upstream doesn't support some of our release architectures, so when doing these backports, we lack a way to bootstrap the new version on those architectures. See for example [1]. One possibility would be to create the -stage0 tarballs using Debian sid packages for X-1. I haven't looked in detail, but perhaps we would need statically linked binaries, which could be done in an extra build and placed in a rust-static .deb. Then make_orig-stage0_tarball could look for those .debs from snapshot.debian.org. Thoughts?
