Use output of `cargo metadata` to install binaries

Open nastevens opened this issue 7 years ago • 0 comments

Right now binaries are found and installed with the extremely simple heuristic of looking for executable files in the output target directory.

Using the output of cargo metadata (which provides very nice, detailed information about generated libraries, binaries, and more) it would be possible to deterministically install binaries from a package.
