| Rust Update Policy |
| ------------------ |
| |
| Given that for some distributions it's not feasible to keep up with the |
| pace of Rust, we promise to only bump the minimum required Rust version |
| following those rules: |
| |
| - Only up to the Rust requirement of other major Linux desktop |
| components, e.g.: |
| |
| - `Firefox ESR <https://whattrainisitnow.com/release/?version=esr>`__: |
| `Minimum Supported Rust Version: |
| <https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/writing-rust-code/update-policy.html#schedule>`__ |
| |
| - latest `Linux Kernel Rust requirement |
| <https://docs.kernel.org/process/changes.html#current-minimal-requirements>`__ |
| |
| - Only require a newer Rust version than stated by other rules if and only |
| if it's required to get around a bug inside rustc. |
| |
| As bug fixes might run into rustc compiler bugs, a rust version bump _can_ |
| happen on a stable branch as well. |
