How we ship Rust in OpenSUSE
summary
OpenSUSE ships Rust by allowing vendored crates, following upstream Rust release cadence, and automating packaging so maintainers run cargo vendor and cargo-audit and produce a vendor tarball. Build service integration with sccache cuts initial Rust toolchain rebuilds from about two hours to five minutes and local rebuilds are much faster. Security response works by revendoring and targeting specific rustc CVEs. Packaged Rust grows from 50 to 100 packages in six months, showing the workflow actually scales.
