@cwebber I'm a rust dev but also contributing to a distro and this goes so hard. like, rustls looks cool, but there's no way to get it dynamically linked! which just gets me to keep using openssl instead! so many crates just try to for whatever reason silently build C dependencies for me! why?!

@selfisekai@social.hackerspace.pl @cwebber@octodon.social most crates with C dependencies have an environment variable or something to prefer pkg-config |
@selfisekai @cwebber I hate when crates just assume the downstream user wants to build a C library and statically link it! I don't think language toolchains should try to overtake the work of other languages' toolchains.
