Unfortunately Debian stable is still on 1.63 https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=rustc
What is the actual MSRV policy currently? It's used to be roughly stable - 2. But then this crate languished for awhile so the practical MSRV slipped further through inaction. While I don't think this needs the MSRV to be as aggressive as it used to be, I'm also not sure there's much reason to have Debian LTS as a baseline, It appears they already ship a cc-rs package: https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=librust-cc
I'd be fine with something like stable-5 (IIRC the libs team agreed that this would be good for libc
, so I'm just cribbing from that). I know a lot of people have strong feelings about MSRV, but ancient MSRVs increase maintenance burden and we are low on those resources.
More concretely, 1.65 is from 2022 so it seems fine to update to that now.
Required for #1137
