FR: An option to disable some of `cargo binstall`'s strategies #264

Closed ilyagr closed 2 months ago

ilyagr commented 2 months ago

I've had some occasional problems with Quickinstall (https://github.com/cargo-bins/cargo-quickinstall/issues/250, https://github.com/cargo-bins/cargo-quickinstall/issues/255). I'd like there to be an option to pass --disable-strategies quick-install to cargo binstall when called from cargo install-update.

A workaround is to set the option with an environment variable:

BINSTALL_STRATEGIES=cargo-meta-data,compile cargo install-update

I haven't tested it yet, but I believe it should work.

If only cargo-meta-data and compile work for you then you should specify that exactly as you noted, yeah. Not sure what more cargo-install could do here.
