Does not compile with Rust stable channel about aardwolf HOT 6 CLOSED

Wouldn't that include most of Rocket? >.>

Yea, the only unstable feature our application code uses outside of rocket.rs-related stuff is try_from, and that is mostly there as a convenience -- we could easily get rid of that.

Here is the tracking issue from rocket.rs about compiling on stable: rwf2/Rocket#19

Does it? Hrm. That's kind of disappointing. Oh well, I'll see if I can get my Gentoo system updated to nightly, then.

It might be good to use the "version file" feature of rustup.rs to pin us to a specific nightly version -- that way, anyone using rustup.rs to managed their installed toolchains will always get the specific nightly version of the toolchain that we know works.

That sounds like a good plan. Now to just get my system to switch to rustup, while still keeping Firefox installed. I can understand Firefox having Rust as a build dependency, but why do I have to keep it as a run-time dependency? This could get tricky...

According to the Rocket documentation you should be able to do directory-specific Rust.

If you prefer, once we setup a project directory in the following section, you can use per-directory overrides to use the nightly version only for your Rocket project by running the following command in the directory:
rustup override set nightly
