Yep, that's my read as well. No idea what he's talking about.

Is "No." an over-specific denial?
But, as the debian dude has learned… Rust programs will 99.999 % work if they can be compiled.
That's a dumb statement. Every tool needs unit tests. All of them!
If grep complied, but always returned nothing for every file and filter, then it's still not "working". But, hey, it compiled!
So if your Rust app is built against up to date libraries in Cargo, it’s going to be difficult to package those apps in Debian when they ship stable, out of date libraries since Debian’s policies don’t like the idea of using outside dependencies from Cargo.
As they should. You don't just auto-update every package to bleeding edge in a stable OS, and security goes out the window when you're trusting a third-party's third-party to monitor for dependency chain attacks (which they aren't). This is how we get Crowdstrike global outages and Node.JS bitcoin miner injections.
If some Rust tool is a critical part of the toolchain, they better be testing this shit against a wide array of dependency versions, and plan for a much older baseline. If not, then they don't get to play ball with the big Linux distros.
Debian is 100% in the right here, and I hope they continue hammering their standards into people.
We're not the advertising. Streamers are the advertising. If the publisher didn't spend money on trying to promote this on Twitch and/or Youtube, they aren't doing their job.
Splattercatgaming just released a video a day ago, so these guys are impatient.
But, these are exceptions that prove the rule. He so rarely uses guns that it's novel when it happens.
Honestly, if it could get this sort of thing right, it would already have enough cognitive function for us to be scared of self-awareness.
Following or designing step-by-step instructions requires a lot of intelligence.
