Loud ramblings of a Software Artisan

So, I'm looking for a job

I decided a while ago to avoid personal posts here with my loud ramblings, because they en up being pointless. I'll make an exception now and bring in a little life issue that is a little bit sudden.

I'm looking for a job, in snowy Montréal (I can do remote too).

If you are looking for an experienced developer to join your team, I can be that person. Even for a limited time, I'm ready to start as soon as you are.

My résumé

And may you have happy holidays.

Rust and Automake - Part 2

I already talked about Rust and Automake. This is a follow-up.

One of the caveat of the previous implementation is that it doesn't pass make distcheck as it doesn't work when srcdir != builddir.

The main problem is that we need to tell cargo to build in a different directory. Fortunately Cargo PR #1657 has taken care of this. So all we need is a carefully crafted CARGO_TARGET_DIR environment variable to set before calling cargo. You can substitute abs_top_builddir for the top build directory.

But let's show the patch. Nothing complicated.
