@xuky76 What do you mean? That URLs like that could be used to show the table?
yerke commentedon May 27, 2024
@ojeda do you need standalone installers for stable versions earlier than 1.8? I imagine not, right?
All others are now covered in https://forge.rust-lang.org/infra/archive-stable-version-installers.html

Thanks for asking!
Yeah, Rust for Linux does not need them. We are more than happy with Rust 1.62.0 and later, since that is the version that the oldest supported LTS that has Rust (which was also the first).
Though perhaps other people/project could perhaps want them for historical reasons, e.g. Compiler Explorer currently has all major versions since 1.0.0 to play with.

@yerke By the way, I just noticed the page contains Rust 1.8.0 twice.
yerke commentedon May 27, 2024
@ojeda oh, thanks for catching it.
ojeda commentedon May 27, 2024
My pleasure!

@ojeda The issue with the duplicate versions on https://forge.rust-lang.org/infra/archive-stable-version-installers.html was fixed in rust-lang/rust-forge#770.
ojeda commentedon Oct 15, 2024
Thanks! Added above for reference. I see you are also adding even pre-1.8.0 versions -- we don't need anything that old anyway, but thanks for that too!
yerke commentedon Oct 15, 2024
PR to add pre-1.8.0 versions is merged. Now you see all historical stable Rust versions on https://forge.rust-lang.org/infra/archive-stable-version-installers.html.
