[-]Add the ability to configure whether components installed[/-][+]Add the ability to configure whether components are installed[/+]on Apr 12, 2016 For rust-docs at least, we're just going to blanket convert it to an optional component, so it won't be installed by default.
Maybe
rust-mingwshould also be converted to an optional component until we figure out something better to do with it.Reacted by Jorge Aparicio and Artem V. NavrotskiyAdding an ability to optionally install required components seems wrong.
This issue can be for a general
rustup componentsubcommand, which we'll need before rust-docs can become optional.I'm fine leaving
rust-mingwinstalled-by-default for now, I was just thinking that there's some way to opt out of installing it (which is persisted)Maybe this speaks to a need for a new type of component, one that is not required but is installed by default. Though i'm still more inclined to relegate rust-mingw to the ndk layer.
(Or maybe we just don't have to be so strict about what "required" means and just allow people to mix and match components in ways that break).
Two use cases:
rust-mingwcomponent is installed because C code is sometimes compiled with my MSYS toolchain and then linked withrust-mingw's toolchain (causing errors).
