Instructions should state Debian stable is not supported
richardg867 opened this issue · comments
Despite README.md containing instructions for installing dependencies on Debian, flamegraph itself cannot be installed on Debian stable (currently bullseye) due to the outdated Rust version it packages. README.md should state the minimum required Debian version, or at least provide instructions on installing a newer version of Rust (maybe a link to rustup).

rustc is already the newest version (1.48.0+dfsg1-2).
Can you submit a PR to propose new language that would explain this better? I'm not very familiar with Debian.
#221 submitted.
