<Googulator>In case someone has missed this: https://github.com/thepowersgang/mrustc/commit/e4a9eb8fb469b03ffbc6a8beaac1cec539b2dbd9
<stikonas>oh nice
<stikonas>probably should start testing it...
<Googulator>I wonder how Guix will handle this change
<Googulator>Staying on 1.54-mrustc makes existing users happy, but new users (at least those not using substitutes) draw the short stick, having to build 20+ intermediate versions
<Googulator>Switching to 1.74-mrustc makes life easier for new users, but forces existing ones to rebuild the world
<Googulator>Grafting 1.74-mrustc in place of 1.74 makes both user camps happy, but goes in the face of grafting policy (since it's not a security change)
<matrix_bridge><Andrius Štikonas> well, if you build form source in Guix, you have to frequently build the whole chain anyway
<matrix_bridge><Andrius Štikonas> every time one of the rust dependencies lower in the chain changes, you need to rebuild everything
<andydude>UEFI is crazy
<stikonas>andydude: ?
<stikonas>(I'm not arguing that it is not crazy)
<andydude>Just venting
<andydude>I'm still trying to get either guix or nix working
