AJ ONeal 0861ebc8b8 ref(releases.conf): collapse source/owner/repo into single keys
Source type is now inferred from the primary key:
  github_repo = owner/repo   (was source=github + owner + repo)
  git_url = https://...      (was source=gittag + url)
  gitea_repo = owner/repo    (was source=gitea + owner + repo)
  hashicorp_product = name   (was source=hashicorp + product)

One-off dist sources (nodedist, zigdist, etc.) keep the explicit
source= key since they're already one-liners.

Parser still accepts the old format via the default fallback branch.

Files

These are the files / directories that are created and/or modified with this install:

~/.vim/pack/plugins/start/rust.vim/
~/.vim/plugins/rust.vim

Cheat Sheet

vim-rust provides integration with cargo check, rustfmt, and other rust tooling.

You'll also need to install ALE (part of vim-essentials) or syntastic first.

How to install and configure by hand

  1. Remove the previous version of rust.vim, if any:

    rm -rf ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start/rust.vim
    
  2. Install rust.vim as a Vim8 package with git:

    mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start/
    git clone --depth=1 \
        https://github.com/rust-lang/rust.vim \
        ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start/rust.vim
    
  3. Create ~/.vim/plugins/rust.vim, as follows:

    " Reasonable defaults for rust.vim
    
    " run rustfmt on save
    let g:rustfmt_autosave = 1
    
    " run cargo check et al
    let g:ale_rust_cargo_use_check = 1
    let g:ale_rust_cargo_check_tests = 1
    let g:ale_rust_cargo_check_examples = 1
    
  4. Edit ~/.vimrc to include the config:

    " Rust: reasonable defaults for rust.vim
    source ~/.vim/plugins/rust.vim
