If a user decides to use rustup it should be their responsibility to manage it. I think it's a bad idea for a pkgbuild to start installing something.

To rephrase what I said. Why not just depend on there already being a valid rust environment already set up like other packages do?

Morganamilo: the package does in fact depend on cargo, which is provided by both rust and rustup. So if you have rust installed, everything will work just fine for you.

If, however, you decide to go with rustup, you NEED to also download&install the stable version using rustup itself. This is a rustup limitation, not mine.

EDIT: in other words, users that decide to use rustup cannot just install it via pacman and be ready to build.:( The missing steps are ensured by this PKGBUILD.

Whats up with the rustup calls? Why not just depend on rust? I don't see any reason a pkgbuild should trigger an update/install of something. Especially something not managed by pacman.
