I started thinking about this and couldn't help trying it out; it was easier than I thought.

However, a few obvious things:

  • We definitely want to at least use https://github.com/mozilla/cbindgen; and even with that, error handling still sucks. Maybe we can teach cbindgen about GError...
  • The dynamic linking thing will suck for ergonomics

[2023-09-20T19:41:39.924Z] ostree: failed to initialize libostreesysrs.so: /usr/libexec/libostree/libostreesysrs.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This is because the supermin tooling only knows how to find things shipped as an RPM.

(Hmmm....maybe we could figure out some way to actually ship this thing as part of libostree-1.so...)

Or I guess, the more I think about it, pull off the band aid and just hard require Rust.
