Rustup

A rustup install with packages for rust.

Description

Too many times the packages needed on a new build would I need to essentially provision a rust install. This role's goal is to lessen the workload in getting a rust common install. Along with also offering more specific defined packages configured and ready for rust fun.

The role installs rustup with autocomplete settings enabled for the shell of choice. The packages are listed below. They are divided into two different configurations. One are the common always used packages under the common.crates list in defaults/main.yml. The second set are more specifically tuned to the Author's needs under specific in defaults/main.yml. You can find out more how to disable under Usage if you don't want the specific packages or if you want to change on the listing.

Role Variables

The role has 3 variables to update. Each one should be changed according to the user's needs. The defaults can be seen in defaults:

conf:

  # shell autocomplete. Should be (bash|fish|zsh)
  shell: fish

  # if you want to have the specifics installed
  specifics: true

  # if decide to use parallel or not check the link given above for the package for more information
  parallel: true

Requirements

Your only requirement is you should change the default variables listed above to the needs for your provision using the role.

Usage

Besides the role variables, with the exception of parallel, you only need to enable the role on your playbook. If you want to install your own crates, targets, or toolchains, you can simply be replacing the variables given in defaults.

For using the parallel package, you need to run the role with become enabled for privilege of enabled madvise mode for usage.
