I've been pretty busy in my life recently, but I finally got around writing this blog post. Hopefully, things are sorted out in my personal life and I should be able to be more regular about these updates in the future.

I'm very happy to see good progress towards rustup distribution (thanks to Kobzol again!).

Yeah, apologies for not communicating the issue clearly.

cp config.example.toml config.toml
./y.sh prepare
./y.sh build --sysroot
./y.sh clean all
# above commands finish with success
# below, building succeeds, but it later fails with "error: failed to load source for dependency `rustc-std-workspace-alloc`
./y.sh test --release

And then trying to use the "release" build fails:

% CHANNEL="release"  ./y.sh cargo build  --manifest-path tests/hello-world/Cargo.toml
[BUILD] build system

I will make sure to report issues directly in the future, although from account(s) not connected to this username.

The issue here is that you didn't provide --build-sysroot to ./y.sh test --release, so it cannot find the std crate.

But running

./y.sh prepare
./y.sh test --release

does work. That's what gave me the impression that clean all doesn't actually clean everything!

[–] antoyo 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It does actually clean everything. You need to call ./y.sh prepare again if you ran clean all; otherwise, it will fail to find some stuff like rustc-std-workspace-alloc.

I opened an issue to improve the documentation in this regards. Thanks for testing all this: this will help me improve the documentation.

Aha! Good to know. And yes, improved documents would be of great help.

Thanks again for working on this.
