1 Hi folks,

3 Forgive me if this has been spotted elsewhere, it's not in this list yet
4 as far as I can see.

6 The excellent work to bring the version of Rust in ~amd64 up to date has
7 had an unfortunate side effect, in that it now prevents Firefox from
8 building. Firefox appears to only supports Rust 1.19 and no later.

10 I get a failure in one of the Rust components, as the build converts
11 warnings to errors, and an import is now unused in 1.23 as it's now
12 implicitly in scope, according to this thread [1]
13
14 I know this is only a minor point release, but I was hoping to update
15 for the SPECTRE mitigations.
16
17 Has anyone patched this themselves, or do I need to think about rolling
18 the system rust back to 1.19?

20 Emerge build log is attached, it's a bit noisy around the errors sadly.
