Support for multiple packages from single crate #123

Closed tglman closed 4 years ago

tglman commented 4 years ago

Hi,

The rust crate support the possibility to produce multiple binaries, and I have this case, would be cool if I could produce multiple packages each of it with a single binary, as today cargo deb allow only to generate one package, and at most a variant of the same package, is there any plan to support this ?

by the way, this is already a great project as it is.

Regards

Cargo is a bit ambiguous about what is a crate and what is a workspace, but I'd say that if the binaries are separate enough that they don't belong in a single deb, they they also don't belong to a single crate.

Split them into a workspace, and build with -p. I wouldn't mind expanding workspace support: #49

Hi,

Fair point, I haven't had chance to try the workspace setup, will try out and report.

Thanks Regards
