​​Getting started

​​The best way to start is to read this document, then join the chat and say hello! We’ll help you from there.

​​Goals

​​By the end of the impl period, we should:
  • ​​Support per-test paths instead of --test-args​: ./x.py test ./src/test/compile-fail/issue-41255.rs​ should just work.
  • ​​Utilize Cargo more than we do today
  • ​​​@Aaron T​ will reach out to see if we can get experimental std-aware and libtest-aware Cargo during the impl period
  • ​​Fix existing issues

​​Stretch Goals

  • ​​Implement testing for at least portions of the build system (integration tests are likely, though not preferable)
  • ​​Review & rework host/build/target distinction into something more readily understandable: librustc target (full compile) vs libstd target.
  • ​​Skip stage 0 in most local configurations
  • ​​Look into possible time savings by compiling less

​​Open work items

  • ​​This can be a link to a github search (e.g. “impl period milestone + E-mentored”)
  • ​​It can also include manually-curated items
​​
  • ​​Utilize build scripts to declare dependencies instead of wiping out directories

​​Completed work items

  • ​​Group these by date for making a summary of work done (every two weeks or so)
