[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#1018859: rutsc: Please update to 1.63.0

Hello Fabian,

unfortunately your last email didn't get me, probably it was blocked
somewhere in the great wilderness out there.

I noticed the newer version of rustc and so far I can start new build
adventures with thunderbird. :-)
Now I need a newer version of NSS3 to build a recent beta version of
Thunderbird. ;)

I remember somehow about that requirement.

O.k., sound like a plan, and yes the freeze is coming. It would be nice
if rustc and the other belonging parts could get updates regularly. A
lot of other packages are depending on recent rustc stuff, for me it's
sometimes difficult if I need to postpone working on newer usptream
stuff as this requires later again some time to get to the point were
the I was before.

Anyway, thanks for the updated package!
I'd like to keep this issue open as Debian probably wants to ship a
rustc version that has upstream support for at least some time span of
the bookworm release.
But it's up to you, if you feel you want to close this report feel free
to do so.

Regards
Carsten
