[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#846177: A rustc-src package would be useful for racer completion

[Dato Simó]

Source: rustc
Severity: wishlist

It would be nice to have a rustc-src package containing the source
for Rust itself.

The (widely-used) racer completion engine needs access to the
source in order to work.

There is precedent for this, for example Go provides a golang-src
package.

I don't think that the racer dependency on the source code is
going away any time soon — though if it were, that would be a
reason not to introduce a source package.

Thanks for considering,
