Allow specifying a version of a package to install. #37

Closed tomprince closed 7 years ago

tomprince commented 7 years ago

I'd like to be able to specify a version to install when using cargo install-update -i. I'd like to be able to use this in travis to install a pinned version of packages like rustfmt/clippy without needing to manually check if the package is installed or the correct version.

That sounds like a job for cargo install --force --vers XXX YYY, unless I'm missing some obvious advantage basically rewriting the UI and update-check layers would bring?

tomprince commented 7 years ago

I'd like to avoid reinstalling the package if it is already installed and of the correct version. The use-case I have is installing clippy in travis builds. For example, I'd like to replace the code here with something like cargo install-update -i clippy:$CLIPPY_VERSION.
