Team and tasks description
All rust-related packaging is maintained on alioth by a team of interested packagers
The goals of the team are to package the compiler, runtime and related tools. At the same time, we try to draft policy to normalize rust-related packages and practices.
As rust is quickly evolving, discussions are open and ongoing on many topics. Further details are in the subpages below.
