Description Tobias Kortkamp freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-01-23 13:54:55 UTC
racerd is severely out of date.  Please update it.  It now fails to build with
rust-nightly and I expect it will soon fail to build with stable Rust too (not
the first time, see ports r520311).

Maybe we can just drop the port?  Do we still need it?  Nowadays lang/rust comes with an LSP server,
rls, which should be enough of a replacement.  Since rls comes with Rust, it will always be up to
date and support the current Rust version.  Most popular editors can make use of LSP servers.

Marked as broken for lang/rust 1.41.0 (see https://reviews.freebsd.org/D23385).

URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/525795

Log:
  Deprecate devel/racerd

  racerd has not been updated for more than 2 years and is causing
  extra work during lang/rust updates.  Let it expire in 2 weeks.
  lang/rust comes with its own language server, RLS, that can be used
  instead.

Hey Tobias,

 Somehow this bug slipped by and I didn't see it. I'm actually planning on deleting this port as well as a couple of others, I just haven't gotten around to it. If you want to go ahead and remove it that is fine.
Comment 4 Richard Gallamore freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-02-14 04:50:09 UTC
Deleted port in r526085.
