Description

Description:

Hi,

I rather enjoy the convenience and portability of setup-go. Can we please get a similar action workflow for rust ("setup-rust")?

Justification:

Present the same treatment for the Rust programming language as we do for Go.

Are you willing to submit a PR?

N/A

As a workaround, I am using sudo apt-get install -y cargo in the Ubuntu runners. Though that's not particularly OS portable, nor very Rust version flexible. And it's missing access to components that require rustup.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing setup-go action and the repository's GitHub Actions context. Determine the intended Rust and rustup version and component support, including portability beyond Ubuntu. Done means a setup-rust action can provision selected Rust versions and components across supported runners.
