if i want the best rust support, which distro would you recommend?

im not sure, but it may be omnios

but, then again, it all boils down to how much community does care and helps to keep it supported;)

there are no distro differences when it comes to the rust binaries that I'm aware of

you can always just grab the latest kit from us-central.manta.mnx.io/pkgsrc/public/pkg-bootstraps/index.html and use it on any if the native version is outdated or whatever

nice

fun, just wasted 750GB of SSD write cycles on a dinked ZFS send

@toasterson - I'm a bit confused about illumos 15301 (fenix)

FEATURE 15301: Want 64bit libfmd_snmp as net-snmp 4 is now 64bit only (New)

↳ illumos.org/issues/15301

net-snmp 4 is really old, unless I'm missing something

OmniOS ships 5.9.3 which includes 32- and 64-bit versions of those libraries

(and omnios also does not have 32-bit perl)

we managed to get net-snmp to not compile perl in 32bit. it took a bit of convincing net-snmp but it worked. I haven't checked the version numbers but I can tell fritz about 5.9.3

It looks like the omnios build uses --disable-applications and other things for the 32-bit build

so just getting the libraries

jbk I have not made any progress on the viosci lun issue in oracle cloud, I was tracing the report lun command, trying to force lun0 even if there was an error, but no luck.

neirac: unfortunately, i don't have a lot of time right now to look at it

sensille: I would recommend using the official binaries via rustup as per rustup.rs -- just note that you need to pipe through bash, not sh, to install

sensille: also rustup should work on almost any illumos "distro". It's typically how I install rust (I personally use omnios these days)

i have trouble compiling rust-rocksdb. at least i managed to build a 5 year old version, it's a start

did a particular crate fail to build?

papertigers: traitor :P

I heard it snowed a little bit

papertigers: the rocksdb-binding is missing support for illumos, there are expicit tests for various platforms. but that might only be the start

Smithx10: just a smidge :)

sensille: I do see mention of io-uring. If that's not behind some cfg, it's certainly not going to work on illumos

ahh seems to be a feature you can enable, so ignore me

something like io-uring would be nice to have.. though I'm not sure if there's been enough experience in linux-land to uncover all any pitfalls that might cause unwanted behavior and such

sensille: rocksdb is a c++ thing that IIRC does not support illumos. Try sled instead it's way smaller and has all the bangs and whistles

I think rocksdb should work

did people try to compile llvm 15?

ah omnios does :)

but on another note do we want something similar to gnu-version-script-compat from the solaris compiler in our ld?
