# rust-bin README

This port is provided as a convenience for users who are interested in
compiling rust code, but are otherwise discouraged by the prospect of 
rebuilding a toolchain every six weeks. As a **consumer** of rust code 
you will enjoy mostly the same experience using this port as you would 
with opt/rust. All you need to do is put the line 
  rust-bin: rust
into your prt-get aliases file, to ensure that dependency resolution 
does not trigger building rust from source.

Caution: if you intend to cross-compile for a 32-bit target, this port
might not work as a drop-in replacement for rust. Only use this port
if you compile solely for x86_64.
