Indeed there are still issues, most notablly IMO that
firefox-esr's build-dependencies have been unsatisfiable in
testing for over 7 months because rust-cbindgen has not been able
to migrate to testing.</blockquote>
<p>Update:</p>
<p>Sylvestre invited me into the rust team and him and I have been
plugging away at this. The issues mentioned in my original mail
have been dealt with.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately new issues do seem to pop up, for example sometimes
tests that were being skipped because of dependency issues before
start to run. Also some packages were uploaded (crossbeam-util and
goblin) that broke revese-dependencies. I have been dealing with
these as I spot them.<br>
<br>
Can I ask that until we get this lot migrated to testing that
people are careful about uploading packages that involve a semver
break.<br>
