[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Packaging cargo

[Luca Bruno]

Hi,
in the non-recent past I tried approaching cargo from a packaging POV, but the 
times were not mature enough.

I think that at alpha2 stage we should really focus on re-evaluating it and 
reporting/fixing bugs.

Angus, I know you have some preliminary package, which I'd like to check.
I've created an empty git repository at:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-rust/cargo.git/
Can you push your personal WiP branch there? (I normally call them with a wip/ 
or lucab/ prefix to quickly distinguish them)

Don't worry about quality, this mostly for a starting base to discuss.
I'm particularly interested in:
 * what to use as a tarball (original tarball? a frozen one with all libs
   inside?)
 * cargo bootstrapping process (cargo needs cargo!)
 * system integration (sysroot, dynlib/rlib, etc.)
 * bug hunting for possible blockers
First-hand comments and experiences are welcome.

Ciao, Luca
