I use multiple rust packages in my desktop. To install those packages i use
cargo install fd-find sd ripgrep bat exa git-delta du-dust choose alacritty nu tealdeer broot
To update those packages , i use cargo-update sub-command.
cargo install cargo-update
cargo install-update -a
Is there any command or sub-command or technique i can use to download only pre-compiled binaries (instead of downloading the source code and compiling in my machine) to install or update rust crates.
Since crates can be compiled with or without certain features which result in different code, there isn't any mechanism to up- or download pre-compiled crates. On top of that, the list of supported targets is very long which would make it very likely that the platform you're on doesn't have pre-compiled binaries.
Finally, there'd need to be additional mechanisms to sign the code and verify that the pre-compiled code matches the source code.
So all in all there are several obstacles that render implementing this impractical.
