Agreed. dev-util until it grows in size (isn't the recommendation |
| 36 |
5-10+ pkgs?), then dev-rust. Despite the package moves being somewhat |
| 37 |
cumbersome, it makes more sense to do it once it's clear Rust has an |
| 38 |
ecosystem going rather than catch stragglers in its infancy. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
For platform-specific things like compilers, dev-lang/ may be a better |
| 41 |
candidate. |
