Description

It looks like the rust package is missing the std and core source files that would normally be required for language-servers to provide analysis (ie rust-analyzer).

I'm not sure what configuration steps would be necessary to provide the source files as a separate package, it seems it might be possible to include them in the build with the extended and tools settings in the rust config.toml.

Alpine also provides the source files as a separate package (https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/edge/community/x86_64/rust-src), but I don't know how much can be gleaned from their template, if anything.

Sidenote: rust-analyzer currently doesn't work out of the box with the rust package due to the missing sources, setting up this package and adding it as an optional dependency to rust-analyzer should hopefully fix that.

Does the requested package meet the package requirements?

Required

Is the requested package released?

Yes

The rust package is almost exclusively for building void's rust packages, for development purposes you'll want to use rustup. I'm guessing rust-analyzer can be configured to use sources from there.

Yes, thats why I suggested it as a separate package

for development purposes you'll want to use rustup

I'd prefer sticking to the distro-packaged variants if possible (rust-dbg and rust-doc were also accepted as separate packages)

generally yes, but there is also the case of platforms which rustup doesn't support but void does

i also personally only ever use the packaged rust toolchains

for -src specifically, you only need to add src to the built tools and then the rust-src-*.tar* is generated, which has the sources to unpack into destdir

Sounds reasonable, I can prepare a PR then

[classabbyamp]

let's just include it in the next rust update

Pending addition in #44220

Installed and tested with rust-analyzer, which indeed seems to work out of the box now, thanks
