config.user.toml currently says:
|
# These defaults are meant for users and distro maintainers building from source, without intending to make multiple changes. |
"users" is so ambiguous as to be meaningless. What I originally intended was something like "people building from source once and installing it locally", like Gentoo users or something. I think "dist" is a much better name for this profile: it makes it more clear why CI uses the profile and it hopefully will make it easier for distros to find and understand.
cc @cuviper - you said in https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/233931-t-compiler.2Fmajor-changes/topic/Redesign.20bootstrap.20stages.20compiler-team.23619/near/351408631 this would be helpful, do you still think that? The only other name I can think of is something like install but I'm not sure that's a good description of what CI is doing with the profile.
