rustc_bin - missing rustc_ast #6703

Open kallisti5 opened 2 years ago

kallisti5 commented 2 years ago

Debian-based distros provide rustc_ast via a rust-dev package. We probably should provide a rust_devel package to provide a similar design?

I'm not 100% yet on what rustc_ast is, but it is seemingly something rust can't compile itself

@nielx you know anything about rustc_ast? The reason is trying to build the servo.io rendering engine, it is missing rustc_ast.

It is part of the rustc compiler, though there are also stand-alone crates distributed. I think those will not do you any good though, because a quick look at the Readme of servo shows that they build against a specific nightly rust version. It seems like you will need to roll your own rust build on the nightly channel.
