[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Updating Cargo for Debian packaging?

Hey Josh,

If you have some time yourself, feel free to push directly to the repo and ping us again once you have something to upload.

https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-rust/cargo.git/
ssh://git.debian.org/git/pkg-rust/cargo.git

It *looks* like that repo is structured like how gbp-buildpackage does it, plus with some DEP-14-like layout:

http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep14/

If what I said is inaccurate, perhaps Luca can chime in to correct me.

If you have trouble with gbp-buildpackage, just ask here or on IRC.

This weekend I'll try to fix/selectively-ignore the armhf test failures and do another upload of 1.15.1.
