Debian's APT package manager will have a "hard requirement" on Rust from May 2026. This move may make some rather big waves.

How does one comment from a dev with virtual no follow up amounts to being news? Is there an official stance by the dev team?

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 day ago

This is the official stance.

But no it's not really news, since Debian already has a hard dependency on rust, as noted in the article.
