Description Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev 2023-08-06 19:23:51 UTC
"Corrosion, formerly known as cmake-cargo, is a tool for integrating Rust into an existing CMake project. Corrosion can automatically import executables, static libraries, and dynamic libraries from a workspace or package manifest (Cargo.toml file)."


New, so far optional dependency of kde-apps/akonadi-search, supposedly serving as a crashfix:

"Parse html with rust
This prevents us from having to use QTextDocument to parse untrusted html
emails. Resulting in crashes or worse security issues.

QTextDocument is still used in case corrosion is not found"
