rustc 1.39 and cargo 0.40 required by firefox 73

[Olivier Tilloy]

Firefox 73+ will require rustc 1.39 and cargo 0.40 to build¹.

The beta phase for Firefox 73.0 begins on 2020-01-02 and release candidates will be available from 2020-02-06.

We will need these in focal and all supported releases (xenial, bionic and eoan). No need to support disco as it will be EOL before firefox 73.0 is released.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Is there somewhere to upload these versions to? rust-next is still behind rust-updates, so if I upload to rust-updates the version currently there will be lost (not that I'm sure I'm going to have packages to upload before I go on leave for four weeks; someone else might have to drive this).

[Olivier Tilloy (osomon)]

rust-next is still behind rust-updates because firefox never required rust 1.38, they bumped the required version from 1.37 in firefox 72 (current beta) to 1.39 in firefox 73 (current trunk). See https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/autoland/rev/1e9df8f9dbaa.

So I think it's fine to "loose" the versions currently in rust-updates, unless this is going to cause problems with bootstraping.

[Michael Hudson-Doyle (mwhudson)]

Ah OK that makes sense. I don't think it'll make bootstrapping any worse than it already is ;)

[Olivier Tilloy (osomon)]

Is there progress on this? Firefox 73 is currently in beta phase, we need the rustc and cargo updates to produce test builds for it.

cargo 0.40 is ready in https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-security/+archive/ubuntu/rust-updates/+packages, and rustc 1.39 will follow very soon
