# 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
