[$] Packaging Rust for Fedora
Linux distributions were, as a general rule, designed during an era whenmost software of interest was written in C; as a result, distributionsare naturally able to efficiently package C applications and the librariesthey depend on. Modern languages, though, tend to be built around theirown package-management systems that are designed with different goals inmind. The result is that, for years, distributors have struggled to findthe best ways to package and ship applications written in those languages.A recent discussion in the Fedora community on the packaging of Rustapplications shows that the problems have not yet all been solved.
