# rust-bin README
This port is provided as a convenience for users who are interested in
compiling rust code, but are otherwise discouraged by the costly
interruption of rebuilding a toolchain every month or so. As a **consumer**
of rust code you will enjoy mostly the same experience using this port
as you would with opt/rust. All you need to do is put the line
rust-bin: rust
into your prt-get aliases file, to ensure that dependency resolution does
not trigger building rust from source.
Caution: if you want to **author** a rust project, and you rely on hints
from an IDE, the absence of binaries in the expected location /usr/libexec
might cause problems. Feel free to create symlinks for the binaries:
/usr/lib/rust-analyzer-proc-macro-srv,
/usr/lib/cargo-credential-1password,
because chrpath cannot accomplish the libexec-dir-change that the patches
for opt/rust would do.
