[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#1069242: official bookworm-backports of rust packages unlikely

[Holger Levsen]

hi Jérôme,

backports of rust packages at least currently are very unlikely, because
one cannot simply backport one package plus one or two libraries maybe,
or 5 libraries, but instead one would need to backport src:rust-sequoia-octopus-librnp
which would need around 10 other src:rust-sequoia* packages, which 
then need a 100 (or 200?) or so other src:rust* packages backported and
then these backports (besides being a huge effort already) need to be
maintained until after one year of the release of trixie, which translates
to more backports of these hundreds of packages plus any new dependencies...

So right now I don't see *this* happen, sorry.

OTOH, if the unstable libsequoia-octopus-librnp binary package works for you
on bookworm, it's trivial to put it in a local apt repo and be done. :)

Stop saying that we are all in the same boat.
We’re all in the same storm. But we’re not all in the same boat.
