Retire cargo-nightly-bin?

[SimonSapin]

Is there any point in the cargo-nightly-bin package now that the Rust installer (and so the rust-nightly-bin package) includes Cargo?

$ pacman -Ql rust-nightly-bin|grep cargo
rust-nightly-bin /usr/local/bin/cargo

Good idea! I'll mark rust-nightly-bin as conflicting with cargo-nightly-bin and mark cargo-nightly-bin as out of date.

[SimonSapin]

There’re not really conflicting, since rust-nightly-bin installs in /usr/local/ and cargo-nightly-bin in /usr/. But it can be confusing that updating cargo-nightly-bin seemingly does nothing because (depending on $PATH) the other Cargo takes precedence.

Or do you mean marking them as conflicting to push people to uninstall cargo-nightly-bin?

[michaelsproul]

Yeah, just to push people to uninstall cargo-nightly-bin.

[michaelsproul]

Do you think that's ok?

As release channels are introduced we'll probably get better ways of installing multiple Rust and Cargo versions, but for now I think it's good to keep it simple.

[SimonSapin]

Yes, that’s fine. And agreed on multiple Rust channels, see rust-lang/rust#19263 and rust-lang/cargo#967. I’m unsure about multiple versions of Cargo itself though.

As of today, cargo-nightly-bin has been deleted!

That should avoid confusion!
