1664914 - rustc-dist-toolchain.tar.xz is too old to build mozilla-central (contains 1.41.1)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: Toolchains, defect)

Description

[Markus Stange [:mstange]]

mach bootstrap installs a rustc-dist-toolchain.tar.xz bundle which can be used to distribute rust compilation with sccache from macOS/Windows clients, see https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/build/buildsystem/sccache-dist.html.

However, at the moment, rustc-dist-toolchain.tar.xz contains Rust 1.41.1.
Building mozilla-central currently requires at least Rust 1.43.0.

This means that all Rust compilation happens locally rather than on the sccache builders.

Please provide a rustc-dist-toolchain.tar.xz with a newer Rust version.

Thanks for the quick fix!

Is there a way we can avoid similar problems in the future? Is there a checklist that's consulted whenever the minimum rustc version is bumped?

With this bug as well as bug 1664962, we'll be using toolchain aliases in the future (i.e., linux64-rust-cross instead of linux64-rust-cross-1.41). Since we regularly update the toolchain aliases as we update to new versions of compilers (e.g. bug 1632723), that should limit this happening again.
