Description Vieri 2019-12-19 08:35:15 UTC 
Wouldn't it be better to DEPEND on dev-lang/rust-bin or virtual/rust?
Depending on dev-lang/rust may require building rust from source, and that requires at least 7GB space in /var/tmp (which is a lot for systems using ramdisks for that) and a lot of CPU time.

    net-analyzer/suricata: depend on virtual/rust, not dev-lang/rust
    
    In other words, do not force users to build Rust from source.
