    On iq.org he lists j u l i e n @ post.harvard.edu as one of his email addresses but people from Harvard, if Quora answers are to be believed, cannot confirm he ever was at Harvard …

    This branch being in the official repository, I took it to be favored. Do you know what's going on?

    The problem seems to be post-commit code review or something like that. I don't know if they did, but I hope they used git-notes which has been in git core for a while now.

    If this has been using core git's notes[1] feature, then there's nothing to export from the site. But as export is mentioned in the announcement, it seems unlikely. [1] https://www…

    If you're using Emacs and org-mode, look into org-babel which supports R among many other inline languages (C, Haskell, sh, SQL, ....) you can use as if you were in iPython.

    There's a JIT branch in the official upstream emacs repository. Just checkout nick.lloyd-bytecode-jit after cloning emacs from git and run `./configure --with-jit` once you have li…

    Hehe. Was I able to express the thoughts clearly enough that you're able to follow (now)?

    I feel like we're talking past each other :). Building rustup with and for musl isn't the problem. Needing glibc for the binaries downloaded by rustup is. So this is more about too…

    Is there another way to get access to the continuously updated toolchains and targets available via rustup?

  12. comment
    Comment #13260088

    That's for targeting musl, typically used for static linking. That should work when running rustup and rustc on FreeBSD as well. What we're missing is rustc-on-musl and with that r…

    For bootstrapping it in and for a distro that's the right thing, but if we want to have access to the rustup toolchains and targets, then those require musl-hosting support upstrea…

    Unfortunately, yes. Looking through llvm, rust, ocaml APKBUILDs for investigative purposes lists some diffs that seem upstream worthy.

    Comment #13259208

    Sadly it's outdated, only a single version, and missing all the other important rustup features. Ultimately rustup's Linux binaries would benefit from either optionally or exclusiv…

    Alpine Linux is great and I wish they would do more to upstream their build fixes so that stuff works out of the box with musl. I also wish Rust and then rustup will work out of th…
