Comment 1 Antonio Murdaca 2016-10-15 19:19:56 UTC

For reference, the only way to get rust src for the installed rust is to "dnf install --enablerepo fedora-debuginfo --enablerepo updates-debuginfo rust-debuginfo". The src will be available under "/usr/src/debug/rust-%{version}/src".

Comment 2 Antonio Murdaca 2016-12-06 19:34:59 UTC

Can we add this into Fedora now? I remember I've been told that 1.12 added official src package (iinw, I talked to Josh months ago now)

Comment 3 Josh Stone 2016-12-06 23:30:29 UTC

Sorry, I did poke at this briefly, and forgot to say anything here.

I noticed that the upstream rust-src component (like you'd get through rustup) is basically just the entire source package, what you'd need to build rust from scratch.  This seems... not so ideal.  For the current nightly, that's 200MB installed, and of that there's 104MB in src/llvm, 35MB in src/compiler-rt, and 32MB in src/test.

I doubt you need any of that for editor support.  Really, I think all we'd want is the source for the stable libraries - libstd, libcore, and a few of the underlying things that are indirectly exposed like libcollections.  Roughly speaking, just the source for libraries installed in rustlib/$target/lib.

Maybe it will be good enough to just install a "full" rust-src and then prune those three big offenders before packaging.  But I think it would probably be a good idea to get upstream packaging to figure out a more focused rust-src.

Comment 4 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2017-01-24 18:41:54 UTC

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2017-02-28 10:27:10 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 26 development cycle.
Changing version to '26'.

Comment 6 Josh Stone 2017-05-03 17:50:48 UTC

Update: I merged a PR upstream to greatly reduce the size of rust-src:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/41546

That should ship in Rust 1.19, and I'll try to get the packaging for it then.

Comment 7 Jan Kurik 2017-08-15 08:23:20 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 27 development cycle.
Changing version to '27'.

Comment 8 Josh Stone 2017-09-01 20:38:19 UTC

rust-src is now in rawhide, and will soon make it to the stable branches when those updates are ready.
