Yes, they run out of funding as written in https://discord.com/channels/1085983777722994729/1085984007914791022

We need to wait to hear from them about future strategy.

@gtema that link doesn't go anywhere for me, can you post the text from that discord message here?

I would prefer not to re-post statements waiting for guys to come up with the official statement. Generally on the main github landing page they have a link to their official discord: https://discord.gg/tyngzagMW7, once you join it you can see not very verbose discussion of the situation in the cargo-dist channel. They basically confirm they ran out of funding and are currently working with the prio on finding ways out of the situation which has held them from doing official announcement.

I see it now, appreciate it!

For those needing a quick and dirty way to still access the book, you can clone this repo, then cd into book and run:

cargo install mdbook mdbook-linkcheck mdbook-toc && mdbook serve --open

If you're relatively new to rust (like me), slight modification to @UnknownPlatypus excellent suggestion above:

# install mdbook binaries *before* cd into `cargo-dist/book`
cargo install mdbook mdbook-linkcheck mdbook-toc
cd cargo-dist/book
mdbook serve --open

When I tried it all from within cargo-dist/book cargo ran into difficulty trying to reconcile compatible dependencies between my system rust toolchain and what was specified in cargo-dist/rust-toolchain.toml. Super helpful comment, though!

The website is back up at http://axodotdev.github.io/cargo-dist/, and the quickstart can be found here: https://axodotdev.github.io/cargo-dist/book/quickstart/index.html Sorry for the inconvenience!
