Support for descriptions on third-party subcommands in `cargo --list`

Open dtolnay opened this issue 3 years ago • 5 comments

What does this PR try to resolve?

This PR implements my proposal in #10662 to enable cargo --list to show descriptions of third-party subcommands, not only the subcommands which are built into Cargo.

How should we test and review this PR?

I have included an ELF note containing a description in the most recent version of the cargo-expand crate. You can confirm that cargo --list is able to print a description for that subcommand (on Linux only, to begin with).

$ cargo install cargo-expand --force
$ gh pr checkout 10663
$ cargo run -- --list

I'm sorry for not responding sooner. I'm going to close since nobody on the team has the capacity to help with this at this time. I've followed up on #10662 with some thoughts we had on the design. I think there might be some more discussion needed on the design, but I don't think any of us can follow up with it right now. Hopefully at some time in the future we can engage with this idea more.
