  Description     : the rust toolchain installer

Rustup installs The Rust Programming Language from the official release channels,
enabling you to easily switch between stable, beta, and nightly compilers and keep them updated.
It makes cross-compiling simpler with binary builds of the standard library for common platforms.
And it runs on all platforms Rust supports, including Windows.

rustup will be maintained within the Debian Rust Team. As of now, five crates are missing for it.
The overview is as follows:
effective-limits -> packaged, awaiting upload
download -> "private" crate, needs additional reqwest features (patched out currently) (no missing dependencies)
zstd -> needs an update, no missing dependencies
xz2 -> needs an lzma-sys update (merged, needs upload)
git-testament -> needs a patch replacing tempdir with tempfile, no missing dependencies

The debian rust team and myself will be working towards the missing crates. 

Cheers

Matthias Geiger
