I am not sure to understand all your meaning... But OpenBSD currently have: - rustc 1.6.0 available on lang/rust port - cargo effort is in progress (in openbsd-wip port) The purpose of devel/cargo/bootstrap (in openbsd-wip) is to have a way to build a cargo binary without cargo. The actual upstream build process for building cargo is "use cargo to build it". This particular version of cargo (devel/cargo/bootstrap) is 0.5.0. It is build using a python script that mimics lots of cargo feature, in order to build a working cargo binary. Currently, I work on making a "true" cargo binary (version 0.8.0) using the devel/cargo/bootstrap as bootstrapper. For now, you can already build a cargo yourself, using the bootstrapper: 1. build and install devel/cargo/bootstrap (it lives in openbsd-wip). you will get a /usr/local/libexec/cargo-bootstrap/cargo binary 2. fetch and extract cargo source 3. configure it using `--local-cargo' option: $ ./configure --local-cargo=/usr/local/libexec/cargo-bootstrap/cargo 4. run make $ gmake 5. enjoy. The packaging is a bit more complex, as the building requires downloading of third-parties source files, which isn't desirable for a package. -- Sebastien Marie
