      This is really, *really* unfortunate. Rust and Firefox folks, *please* get on task with making Rust bootstrappable and supporting independent implementations.https://twitter.com/canadianbryan/status/1215354179616747521 …

      RT @solene@bsd.network Dear #openbsd users, due to Firefox being too complicated to package thanks to Rust and cbindgen (too much work for no volunteer), 6.6-stable won't receive any www/mozilla-firefox update! (1/n) https://bsd.network/@solene/103452895790047839 …

      It sounds like the problem is that they don’t have a Rust maintainer. Being more bootstrappable (I’m not sure what that means) and supporting independent implementations wouldn’t fix that problem.

      Just supporting independent implementations isn’t going to make an OpenBSD Rust appear. Someone still has to do that work.

          Do you know why OpenBSD isn't supported? I'm unclear why it would need special support. I figured the issue was inability to build in a "make world" setup without binaries to bootstrap from.

          So per the thread it looks like Rust *has* been updated on the development branch of OpenBSD, so the problem is just the backport to stable. I don’t know much about OpenBSD so I’m not sure what is holding that up…if it’s a Rust issue making backports hard we should get it filed.
