Hi Folks!
What would be required to make FreeBSD a tier 1 platform for Rust?
What would be required to make FreeBSD a tier 1 platform for Rust?
These are the requisites that a platform must met to be considered a tier 1 platform.
Automated testing is set up to run tests for the platform.
We already running the test suite for the freebsd target. Both on the 32-bit and 64-bit variants.
Landing changes to the rust-lang/rust repository's master branch is gated on tests passing.
We are not doing this yet. I don't know the details but the builds are failing.
Official release artifacts are provided for the platform.
This is being worked on. @alexcrichton is currently working on binary releases of rustc and libstd for freebsd.
Documentation for how to use and how to build the platform is available.
I don't know the state of the documentation on this area.
Also check this comment/thread.
(Also I think this kind of question belongs to the internals forum rather here)
Thanks for the reply! I will follow up on the info. I didn't realize there is a separate internals forum... Will post there next.
