They promise Linux support. What is the situation with Rust on RISC-V? Obviously for a couple of years you haven't been able to build a somewhat complete and modern distro without a Rust compiler. However, that wasn't available everywhere outside of x86 and arm64 at the same time (https://lwn.net/Articles/845535/). Has that been fully solved in the meantime?

My experience with our riscv build deamons in Debian is everything works, but there is some spurious segfaults from time to time.

Check the green build matrix on this page: https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=alexander.kjall%40...

It is kind of amazing where the build process is[0][1].

Anyone familiar with debian can explain what these drops in percentages are?

E.g. arm64 dropped very low for a while or all arches dropped around 2024.68

Not that familiar, but this is sid, which is where debian development happens.

If there's a huge drop, it is most of the time because a package a lot of software depends on got updated or modified (e.g. built with different options) and it caused ABI changes, thus causing rebuilds of everything that depends on it.
