[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hey Danny,

what's missing here? rustc has been released as 1.22.1 since this thread
started. I hope to introduce some people in January at our GNUnet
workshop to the open tasks on the Guix rust-build-system and - depending
on how they judge their own abilities - get them to work on this throughout
the year.

> Feels kinda icky, but it seems that propagated-inputs don't remember the #:system it was for, so for example if A propagates B and A specifies system i686, and X specifies system x86_64 and X depends on A, then X's B will be x86_64.  Weird but understandable I guess...
