This is surprising...
cargo build --release
usually just normalcargo build
command but for release target (i.e. with optimizations). So it should put the build artifacts insidetarget
at the source root or$CARGO_TARGET_DIR
if it's specified. Are you sure in this?UPD
Hmm But doing
cargo install --path alacritty/
doesn't make sense as well, because at the end we copy the binary fromtarget/release
anyway (which is built bycargo build --release
as a part ofcargo install
). Will update the script.
