[pve-devel] Compiling PBS on arm64

[Kamil Trzciński]

I'm slightly progressing, but I stumbled across some `debcargo` problem. It
appears that
Proxmox uses their own fork of `debcargo`, which is needed in order to
build crates
without the usage of crates.io. Is this patch published somewhere?

rust-debcargo (2.4.2-pve1) proxmox-rust; urgency=medium

  * allow overriding maintainer via debcargo.toml
  * implement local crate support.patch
