Message:

Firefox-58.0 and rustc-1.22.1. Firefox now sometimes needs libnotify to report success during the install (I managed some installs without that being present, others barfed at the end). This version of firefox has felt like 'In the beginning was the plan, ... and the darkness was upon the face of the workers ...' I hope it will be less painful for anybody using it.

     58        Repeated builds of this package on the same machine show a wide range
     59        of build times. Some of this might be due to variations in downloading
     60        the required cargo files if they are not already present, but this does
     61        not seem to adequately explain the variations. Also, both the builder
     62        and the user running the install will need to download the cargo crates
     63        if they are not already present in <filename>~/.cargo</filename>.
     64      </para>
     65      <para>
     66        If you use a DESTDIR method to install, you will only need to download
     67        the crates once, for the build, saving about one-third of the build and
     68        install time (but using extra space for the install). Similarly if you
     69        were to build as root, or if your user is allowed to run <command>sudo
     70        ./x.py install</command> - but those methods are dangerous.

     253      as experimental and problems may be encountered. Because

    7676        rendering code) seem to vary widely between different machines. On one
