Rust on FreeBSD

We take care of Rust and Rust-related ports in the FreeBSD Ports Collection.

• lang/rust is tracking Rust Stable and is updated every 6 weeks. It uses the bootstraps we create with lang/rust-bootstrap.

• lang/rust-nightly is tracking Rust Nightly and is updated every week. It uses the prebuilt bootstraps provided by upstream. As such it is currently limited to amd64 and i386.

• lang/rust-bootstrap creates cross-compiled bootstraps for all supported architecture which are later used to build lang/rust.

• Cargo integration is available in the ports framework via USES=cargo

We currently maintain lang/rust for the following architecture and release combinations:

• aarch64: 12.1+ (< 12.1 not supported due to a bug in rtld)

• amd64: 11.3+
• armv6: 11.3+
• armv7: 12.0+
• i386: 11.3+
• powerpc64 ELFv1: 12.1 (13.0 will use the new ELFv2 ABI)
• powerpc64 ELFv2: 13.0+
