@servo why rustls? right now it's really painful to support because it uses ring for crypto ...

(I'm really looking forward to finally having support for pluggable crypto backends in rustls - just so I can, at some point in the future, avoid having to deal with ring on Fedora Linux)

@decathorpe @servo That ring have a really sad number of architectures that it supports makes me feel the same way on Debian:

https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=rust-ring

@alexanderkjall yeah, we have 5 supported architectures right now (since we dropped armhfp / 32-bit ARM), and ring only supports three of them - but I see that this is even worse for debian

@werdahias @alexanderkjall good to know that Fedora isn't the only distro that's struggling with this issue

@werdahias @alexanderkjall yup. I've lost count of the number of architecture-specific bugs that I've reported over the past 2-3 years

well, at least doing things the "proper" way means that the Rust ecosystem improves for *everyone* (including platforms that don't run tests and only build with vendored dependencies)

@werdahias @decathorpe Good news: https://briansmith.org/lets-build-a-fips-rust-crypto

@alexanderkjall @werdahias good news indeed, but at this point I'll believe it when I see it

@yerke @servo uhm, yes, I know. that's what I said? :)

@servo @decathorpe sorry, got too focused on the first part of that message :)

@yerke no worries, it happens to all of us
