Packaging Rust programs in GNU Guix

Build reproducibility and dependency management
K.3.401
Efraim Flashner
Rust is a language with a healthy ecosystem and a strong developer base. With built-in dependency management it's easy to build and install new programs even for those who have never used the language. But how is its adoption among Linux distros? Come with me as we figure out how best to package rust libraries and binaries in Linux distributions which demand total control over dependency management.

Complying with license obligations can incur a lot of hurdles. This results in developers skipping compliance or failing to achieve correct compliance. To compound this, package authors sometimes fail to describe the license of their package clearly or omit license information of included files. ClearlyDefined is a community curated repository of discovered license information for Crates packages, among other types. This talk will cover: the importance of the license obligations of the ...

rav1e is a fast AV1 encoder written in rust (and plenty of assembly), released monthly. Since the 0.1.0 release we try to make sure we provide an adequate speed or quality boost compared to the previous. This talk is about what tools are available in the rust ecosystem and what are the practices that worked best for us.

Over the last decade, Redis has become one of the most popular NoSQL DBs delivering on the promise of high throughput and low latency. What started as a pure C code base is gradually being augmented with Rust due to the trifecta of safety, concurrency, and speed. A primary example is thre RedisJSON module which turns Redis into a document DB. The talk outlines the principal architecture of the re-implementation of RedisJSON, the challenges encountered and the solutions for these. The focus is on ...
