<body>
<p>Support in the Ports Collection for applications written in
the Rust programming language that use Rust's package
manager Cargo was added, via a new <tt>USES=cargo</tt>
setting. The work is based on the <tt>cargo</tt> module
from the OpenBSD ports tree.</p>
<p>This should significantly ease the porting of Rust
applications, as previously porters had to create their own
tarball of the application's dependencies or find other
manual ways of bringing them in.</p>
<p>Several new ports were added that use it, for example:</p>
<ul>
<li>Alacritty, a GPU-accelerated terminal emulator</li>
<li>Exa, a modern replacement for <tt>ls</tt></li>
<li>Ripgrep, a line-oriented search tool that combines the
usability of The Silver Searcher with the raw speed of GNU
<tt>grep</tt></li>
</ul>
