[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#1068008: rustc: Please package rust 1.75 or higher

[Wesley Schwengle]

Package: rustc
Version: 1.70.0+dfsg1-9
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: wesley at schwengle.net

Dear Maintainer,


I was trying to build a rust package from source when I noticed they use
traits. Async traits are supported as of 1.75. It would be beneficial to Debian that
we can start developing rust with these traits.

Currently upstream sits at 1.77.x, it would be nice if we could get at least to
1.75 , but 1.77.x would be preferred.

Many thanks and cheers,
Wesley
