I just tried `cargo binstall marmite`, but it feels (in this case?) that it was the same as doing `cargo install`. Anyway, if you have cargo (ergo, the whole rust toolchain), you might as well explicitly download the git repo, as things need to be downloaded when you do a plain `cargo install` as well. A rust-sanctioned way to get just binary builds that do not require the whole rust toolchain installed would be best. There is a single-binary `cargo-binstall` but that only works when there is made provision by the crate to make a binary available.
- pepa65 2y agoConfirmed, cargo-binstall is not configured for Marmite, so cargo will fall back to install, and the single-binary cargo-binstall will try its heuristics which do not detect ubuntu-latest-binary.zip or macos-latest-binary.zip.
- rochacbruno 2y agoGood catch, I will try to learn how cargo-binstall works and provide the proper binary files. There is an open issue to improve the Github Actions CI related to build and release.
