The ergonomics of
cargo uninstall
would be improved if it supported uninstalling multiple packages at once.Since many tools (rustfmt included) require nightly to install, it's not uncommon to use nightly with
cargo install
. However, since nightly receives daily updates, the binaries installed withcargo install
usually stop working with a nightly update (since the underlying dynamic library file names tend to change) which requires frequentcargo uninstall
/cargo install
gymnastics.Furthermore, supporting uninstallation of multiple packages with a single command would mirror the ability to install multiple packages with a single
cargo install
command.Open question:
--bin
interact with uninstallation of multiple packages? (I believe this isn't handled in thecargo install
case, so it may be a moot point here as well.)The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
