unstable version of the Sdk?

This is more of a question which might become an actionable bug report.

Deltachat needs rust nightly (cf. flathub/chat.delta.desktop#20) and I am wondering whether an "unstable Sdk" would be acceptable. If so, I might dedicate some time generously copy and pasting the existing stable one and include the nightly compiler instead.

The problem with nightly is how often do you update the extension. It'll be useful to have the Sdk extension for nightly but I don't know if it's convenience to have the nightly extension in flathub. Another option could be to use the flathub beta repository, but I don't know.

I'll need nightly as well to build my project (because of Rocket) so I'm interested in this as well.

If you need that you can add rust nightly as a source in your manifest, here you've an example manifest:

https://github.com/danigm/rust-nightly-sample/blob/master/net.danigm.rust-nightly.json

Great thanks. Used that and managed to build my app.

Only problem is I'm getting unusable backtrace from rust despite running with RUST_BACKTRACE=full. Is that working for you?
