# Rust Prevention and Removal (Gentoo)
|
||||
(not affiliated with the actual evapo-rust product)
|
||||
|
||||
This repo contains mask, use and accept files for portage to keep Rust away from your systems.
|
||||
|
||||
I don't like how people are forcing this language and I certainly don't like the so called "people" that use it. No I will not elaborate any further.
|
||||
|
||||
The files are pretty self explanatory by themselves but I'll go over some specifics:
|
||||
## polkit
|
||||
- critical (?) system component using spidermonkey as its js engine
|
||||
- yes it has a javascript engine, wtf right :/
|
||||
- spidermonkey is a fuckhuge dependency for something like this
|
||||
- spidermonkey versions past 78 all require rust to build
|
||||
- it is a mozilla project after all
|
||||
- polkit, which depends on spidermonkey, also depends on rust by proxy
|
||||
### how to mitigate
|
||||
- compile polkit with duktape instead of spidermonkey for its js engine
|
||||
- duktape is much smaller than spidermonkey
|
||||
- polkit w/ duktape hasn't been mainstreamed yet, but patches are available
|
||||
- add the miramir overlay and then enable the duktape use flag for polkit
|
||||
- I might host the duktape patched ebuilds myself at some point
|
||||
|
||||
## librsvg
|
||||
- gnome project (god what the fuck)
|
||||
- head dev = rustification freak
|
||||
- used by literally anything that requires svg support
|
||||
- seriously, try masking this package outright and see how many packages really depend on this (spoiler: a fucking insane amount)
|
||||
- newer versions are fully made in rust
|
||||
### how to mitigate
|
||||
- 2.40 is the last version before rustification
|
||||
- still hosted at ::gentoo
|
||||
- who knows how long that will last...
|
||||
- will probably have to host the ebuild for this at some point
|
||||
- mask librsvg versions later than 2.40 (or rather anything after 2.41)
|
||||
- explicitly enable version 2.40
