A cargo subcommand for checking and applying updates to installed executables
Firstly, ensure you have CMake and the Required Libraries™.
Then proceed as usual:
shell
cargo install cargo-update
If that doesn't work and you're on Mac, re-try with PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/pkgconfig. If it still doesn't work, slam open an issue or comment on one of the existing relevant ones.
| Library | *X package name | msys2 package name |
|-----------------------------------------|------------------|----------------------------|
| libgit2 | libgit2-devel | mingw-w64-x86_64-libgit2 |
| libssh2 | libssh2-devel | mingw-w64-x86_64-libssh2 |
| openssl | openssl-devel | mingw-w64-x86_64-openssl |
cargo install-update -a - check for newer versions and update all installed packages.
cargo install-update crate1 crate2 ... - check for newer versions and update selected packages, will not install new packages.
For more information and examples see the manpage.
cargo-update will update itself seamlessly on Linux and Windows.
On Windows the following strategy is applied:
* Check for old versions, remove them
* Add the current version to the current executable's extension
* Create an empty file in place of the just-renamed file (this way cargo install will "replace" it and not duplicate the entry in .crates.toml)
