[...] Personally, I'd love to have more people working on packaging (and most importantly keeping up-to-date) Rust crates / apps but I think this is not so realistic :)

And the Amish in our area were putting in their 2 years, typically working in the local hospitals.

Growth in the numbers of users of open source software.has outpaced the numbers working on development, documentation, and packaging. I suspect many users are blindly following recipes found on the internet or using code written but someone who is no longer with the organisation. In economics this falls under the class of "free-rider" problems where people want public services but aren't willing to fund them. Maybe we need compulsory public service where youngsters are put to work in the conventional ways (military, hospitals, etc.) or software projects.

Hello, I saw some recent discussions (yet another time) how packaging Rust / Go / Node.js is horrible, we should simply bundle everything and such. Let's not discuss this here, though. I'm interested to hear if there are any users of the `starship' application here in Fedora that consume it from the repositories. Please speak up if you do! As pointed out in the other places, I don't think we are able to update things like that as fast as releases popping out with just as few people working on the packaging Rust stack these days (I'm pretty much not contributing for last couple years due to the other work). And the question, if we want to keep packaging it (with some slower update cycle, as the time permits) or we want to retire it completely. Personally, I'd love to have more people working on packaging (and most importantly keeping up-to-date) Rust crates / apps but I think this is not so realistic :) -- — Igor Raits. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
