Build of miniserv 0.3.1 fails on all macOS versions about miniserve HOT 7 CLOSED

You have to use nightly to build it I'm afraid.

Nightly rust? If that's the case, then we can't ship that version in Homebrew. And if that is a general policy that miniserve released versions cannot build with latest rust releases, then we should drop it altogether.

That's a pity. Yeah, we decided to use maud which necessitates the use of nightly Rust. Is it an option for you to rely on the prebuilt binaries that miniserve automatically builds for every release?

from miniserve.

No, Homebrew core only ships software that builds from source within Homebrew CI. When are the features you need supposed to land in released version of rust?

from miniserve.

Once all of these are on stable: lambda-fairy/maud#17

Probably many months :P

Is it a possibility for you to grab a prebuilt rust nightly as part of the build for miniserve with which to build miniserve? That sounds like a reasonable middle-ground.

from miniserve.

We allow bootstrap processes, in some cases, for formulas where no other compiler exist (go is an example) and that have wide usage. For miniserve it doesn't really fit that case, and the usage (57 installs in three months) doesn't warrant it. Sorry.

We'll keep the old version for now, but if it gets stuck too long (or if the old version has security issues), it will be a candidate for removal.

Otherwise you can maintain it in your own tap, which means it's much more flexible what you can do :)

Yeah, I understand. At any rate, Mac users can always use the provided binaries that we ship for the time being. It will run on stable at some point.
