list available stable toolchains that can be installed

Open gnzlbg opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

It would be good for services using rustup to ship Rust if rustup could list the available stable versions that can be installed: rustup toolchain list stable (or similar) could list 1.0.0, 1.1.0, ...., 1.24.0, 1.24.1, ... etc. Services like compiler explorer need to maintain these lists manually, which is a pain given that these services support dozens of programming languages.

This could be output in both human and machine readable formats. Ideally, the machine readable format would be easy to parse by POSIX sh scripts (e.g. a space-delimited list of versions that can just be interpolated as +${version} for interfacing with rustup). Other formats like json might also be interesting to some.
