Beta testing rustup.rs

Just a quick update on what’s going on with rustup. Since the blog post was published over a month ago I took a vacation and have been focused on other things. I know there are some glaring bugs right now (like rustup uninstall not working - use rustup remove instead).

There’s been a steady stream of patches, but I haven’t published a new build yet. Now that rustup is ‘in production’ I’m quite scared of breaking upgrades, and the next upgrade is going to have some big metadata changes. The test suite does not have enough coverage to give me confidence in upgrades (e.g. just before the blog post I completely broke networking on Windows for a week), so I’m trying to hold off on new releases until rustup has a robust set of live upgrade tests. I’ll keep you updated and try to get the upgrades moving again soon.
