These packages ( pkg install rustc cargo rustc-nightly ) are not available.
Termux gives an error. Fish works well. I tried using pkg upgrade and still doesn't work. Is there another way for you to provide these packages? If there is, please write about it soon. Thanks

These packages ( pkg install rustc cargo rustc-nightly ) are not available.

Termux merged these into rust package. Nightly can be found in unstable-repos

I think you need to do pkg install unstable-repo first to be able to install unstable packages like rustc-nightly.

You could use qemu's -vnc argument, to display the screen on a vnc server, wich you can then watch from the vncviewer app at localhost

As of now, you don't need to add its-pointless community repository to use Rust nightly on Termux as it's now available in the Termux official repository itself. You also don't need to download Rust nightly source code from its-pointless since it's also a Termux package.

pkg update
pkg install rustc-nightly rust-src-nightly

Update: Both rustc-nightly and rust-src-nightly has been moved to the @termux-user-repository. So if you want to install Rust nightly on Termux, run these commands instead:

pkg update
pkg install tur-repo
pkg update
pkg install rustc-nightly rust-src-nightly
