`$ make update` target for updating Rust #28

Closed hawkw closed 8 years ago

hawkw commented 8 years ago

It doesn't have to be called "$ make update", but something like that would be nice.

Currently the Rust update process is as follows (assuming the user is using rustup):

  1. $ rustup update nightly
  2. $ git submodule foreach git pull origin
  3. $ make runtime It would be convenient if there was a Make task to run them all at once.

I think we can assume the user is using rustup, since it's recommended now, and this is a convenience task that nothing else in the Makefile depends on. You can still use the Makefile to build the kernel if Rust is installed differently, so it's not a major disaster.
