rustup toolchain help

says

'channel' is either a named release channel or an explicit version
number, such as '1.8.0'. Channel names can be optionally appended with
an archive date, as in 'nightly-2014-12-18', in which case the
toolchain is downloaded from the archive for that date.

However:

cxh@swarmnuc001:~$ rustup install nightly-2014-12-18
info: syncing channel updates for 'nightly-2014-12-18-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu'
error: no release found for 'nightly-2014-12-18'
cxh@swarmnuc001:~$ 

This happens for me under Mac OS X El Capitan, RHEL 6.x and Ubuntu 14.x

rustup install nightly-2015-03-01

works and seems to install a 1.0.0 version.

Probably the thing to do is to modify rustup.rs/src/rustup-cli/help.rs to use a date that works.

Likely a duplicate of #761.

(tmp) fix for help.rs suggestion

2017-05-09? It's today, and it seems to work. This "fix" is almost useless but it's better than the current displayed date that does not work (see #787) and is a bit old. If merged, I think a better PR may be done with a less random date. Feel free to close if stupid/useless/both! (I'm just trying to help on "easy" issues to dive into rust, even if it's only text edit!)
