If we can ship GCC's D and Modula-2 support, then we can ship this. We'll probably find a use for it. ;-) Thanks to Didier Spaier for hints on the build script. d/mercurial-6.6.3-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. d/rust-1.76.0-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. l/gegl-0.4.48-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. l/openexr-3.2.2-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. l/pango-1.51.2-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. l/python-calver-2022.6.26-x86_64-1.txz: Added.

Let's move this here since it's lagging behind the latest Rust.

+This is a version of Rust that's closer to what Mozilla is recommending for
+compiling Firefox, Seamonkey, and Thunderbird.
+
+To see the recommended minimum and maximum versions of Rust that upstream
+recommends for Firefox (or for Seamonkey/Thunderbird using the backend from the
+same version of Firefox), see this link:
+
+https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/writing-rust-code/update-policy.html
+
+This version of Rust has been compiled with the bundled version of LLVM to
+avoid depending on any particular version of LLVM.
+
+This Rust package will be updated in place to follow the requirements for the
+various Mozilla packages in the main tree (for -current), or in /patches (for
+a stable release).
