asset paths don't work properly with "--profile" #125

Closed TheButlah closed 2 months ago

TheButlah commented 3 months ago

I have a script which creates .debs in either the release profile or a custom "artifact" profile. I tried to specify the location to install the binary in the .deb using the assets option. But if I hard-code target/release/... in, this breaks on the custom "artifact" profile.

Is there some way to use $PROFILE or something similar in the asset paths?

To avoid x/y problem: My real problem is that I want to have cargo deb put its binaries in /usr/local/bin instead of /usr/bin. Using the "asset" feature of cargo-deb is I think the only way to do this.

We automatically rewrite target/release to be whatever profile you have.
