It would be wise to hear people who use rust and develop applications
using rust, meta-rust is being used
to develop field deployed products. Again I urge you to think with a
little bit of wider scope.

Look, it's just an example of a recipe generated with cargo-bitbake. Where is
this
cargo-bitbake in core, so we can test that it works as it should? Until it's
available,
there's no point in keeping the recipe.

Rust is a story that is more at the start than at the finish and as such I think
it is too premature to be removing this just yet. Having a rust recipe in core
generated by cargo-bitbake does have some value in its own right. I'd hope over
time we find the tool becomming a first class citizen in core but that will
likely take time.

I am curious about Randy's views on this.

I can see both points of view.

It is nice to have an example cargo bitbake recipe and that's why this 
one was added to meta-rust and oe-core:

https://github.com/meta-rust/meta-rust/commit/49d94ef0a74bb3274ffcb3fe25011b64865b80bc

It's also possible that some users would not want to use anything except 
the version of
rust and associated tools that are provided by oe-core and that populate 
an SDK.
I don't have that requirement yet but I expect it may come given that 
some organization's
systems are tightly controlled.

I started to update my cargo-bitbake and the rustfmt recipe so let me 
finish that and we'll see what makes sense.

Cheers,

Richard
