Can't update binaries that require additional features

[ahlinc]

Hi! Thank you for the awesome tool that saves a lot of time!

Recently I saw a situation that the cargo install-update --all command wasn't able to update binaries that require that some features to be enabled.


It would be good if the tool would understand that a binary already is installed so it make sense to enable required-features by default.

Manual says: cargo install-update-config -f cli tree-sitter-graph, re-run

@nabijaczleweli thank you for pointing to the man. But is it possible to happen automatically for base features that are mentioned in required-features? The cargo install-update-config command can be used to enable additional features for a binary to enable, e.g., some additional functionality, but the base required features are the base and may be handled automatically.

I don't get this. If you want non-default features then set them? This is how everything else works.

Also, not only is this not what cargo does:

This is not set in the index:

Plus, in this case, it's very explicitly configuration for which binaries you want. The default is none. If you want the "cli"-group ones you build with -fcli. Simple as.

Thank you for explaining, I see that there is no the required-features in the index.
