Hello,

I would like to inquire about the `community/rust' package. After
reading this [0] fun debate bug thread over at debian bug tracker, I've
started to wonder what is the state of this in alpine.

It looks like at least some of the patches in community/rust do not fall
under any of these categories (from [1]):

 - porting the software to a different architecture
 - fixing local paths
 - adding patches that have been released upstream
 - adding patches that have been reported upstream, provided that the
   patch is removed if it is not accepted upstream

That seems to mean that distributing this package under the name `rust'
is not really legal.

Was any evaluation of if the trademark is being broken done? Do we want
to rename `rust' to `totally-not-rust' or something? Do we want to do
nothing and pretend the problem does not exist?

IANAL, so I've decided to ask here assuming someone else knows more
about this.

W.

There are only two hard things in Computer Science:
cache invalidation, naming things and off-by-one errors.
