[edk2-devel] Proposal to move Rust std work to a Repository under Tianocore

[Ayush Singh]

Hi Pedro. To clarify the original email. The proposal is not to create a 
new repository to start Rust std work. Rather, it is to move all the 
per-existing work that I have done for implementing std since the 
beginning of GSoC. This work can be found in my personal fork [1]. A 
significant portion of std is already in a working state for DXE UEFI 
and is at a point that a PR can be opened in a few weeks upstream to get 
it merged. A fork under Tianocore would allow more people, form both 
Rust and Tianocore side to experiment/improve the std, with the final 
goal of getting it all merged in upstream Rust.


Yours Sincerely

Ayush Singh
