Hello Hinnerk,

today I tried to get run/rust to build and failed. As far as I can tell that happens because newer Rust compilers don't support options, that the old version in the port file depends on. I tried to update the version and made some progress, but I don't have everything working right now. Does anyone have a port with a newer version of Rust that I could try?

I am not aware of one. Genode's Rust support is not actively maintained. We just keep the existing test case working.

Somewhat related to that: I noticed similar issues with other ports as well (e.g. bash is version 4.1 (pre shellshock afaict)): is there any interest in updating the ports? If so: would you merge a pull request with such trivial updates?

Such updates would be appreciated! We simply don't pay much attention to keep those packages up to date because Noux is currently used in a rather narrow scope (i.e., not exposed to the network). But this may change any time. Contributions, however minor you think they are, are very welcome! :-)

Cheers Norman
