Split {format} and allow use of {binary-ext} in pkg-url (#95)
This from feedback in #19: > wrt. bin-dir and bin-path, this appears to be a typo / should all be called bin-dir This is only a readme fix afaict, I changed all occurences of `bin-path` in there to `bin-dir`. > wrt. format, those are actually two (unfortunately named) different concepts, the first refers to the archive format (eg. .tgz), the second to the binary format (which needs a .exe appended for windows). This introduces two new substitutions: - `binary-ext` is the old "`format` in `bin-dir`" - `archive-format` is the old "`format` in `pkg-url`" Contents are unchanged: `binary-ext` includes the dot, `archive-format` doesn't. That makes it easy to upgrade and also personally I slightly prefer it that way. The old contextual `format` is still available, "soft deprecated": it will be accepted silently so everything will work, but all documentation will use the new syntax. In the future we could move to a "hard deprecated" model where installing a package that uses `format` will warn the user / tell them to report that to the maintainer. I don't think we'll ever really be able to remove it but that should be good enough. A cool new feature is that `binary-ext` is now usable in `pkg-url`, which will be useful for raw binary downloads: ```toml pkg_url = "{ repo }/releases/download/v{ version }/{ name }-v{ version }-{ target }{ binary-ext }" ``` I've also added a bunch of tests to GhCrateMeta around the templating for `pkg-url`.

- `bin-path` specifies the binary path within the package, templated (with an `.exe` suffix on windows)

- `bin-dir` specifies the binary path within the package, templated (with an `.exe` suffix on windows)

Template variables use the format `{ VAR }` where `VAR` is the name of the variable, with the following variables available:
|

- `name` is the name of the crate / package
|

- `version` is the crate version (per `--version` and the crate manifest)
|
||||
- `repo` is the repository linked in `Cargo.toml`
|
||||
- `bin` is the name of a specific binary, inferred from the crate configuration
|

- `target` is the rust target name (defaults to your architecture, but can be overridden using the `--target` command line option if required().
|

- `target` is the rust target name (defaults to your architecture, but can be overridden using the `--target` command line option if required()
|

- `archive-format` is the filename extension of the package archive format
|

- `binary-ext` is the string `.exe` if the `target` is for Windows, or the empty string otherwise
|

- `format` is a soft-deprecated alias for `archive-format` in `pkg-url`, and for `binary-ext` in `bin-dir`; in the future this may warn at install time.

By default `binstall` is setup to work with github releases, and expects to find:
|
||||
|
||||
- an archive named `{ name }-{ target }-v{ version }.{ format }`
|
||||
- an archive named `{ name }-{ target }-v{ version }.{ archive-format }`
|
||||
- so that this does not overwrite different targets or versions when manually downloaded
|
||||
- located at `{ repo }/releases/download/v{ version }/`
|
||||
- compatible with github tags / releases
|
||||
- containing a folder named `{ name }-{ target }-v{ version }`
|
||||
- so that prior binary files are not overwritten when manually executing `tar -xvf ...`
|
||||
- containing binary files in the form `{ bin }{ format }` (where `bin` is the cargo binary name and `format` is `.exe` on windows and empty on other platforms)
|
||||
- containing binary files in the form `{ bin }{ binary-ext }` (where `bin` is the cargo binary name and `binary-ext` is `.exe` on windows and empty on other platforms)

If your package already uses this approach, you shouldn't need to set anything.
