Mac installer (.pkg) cannot be uninstalled with `install.sh --uninstall`

[amckinlay]

I installed the nightly using the .pkg. While attempting to uninstall the nightly, I downloaded the .tar.gz (same nightly) and encountered this error when running install.sh --uninstall:

➜ rust-nightly-x86_64-apple-darwin ./install.sh --uninstall
install: 
install: processing ./install.sh args
install: 
install: CFG_UNINSTALL        := 1 
install: CFG_PREFIX           := /usr/local 
install: CFG_LIBDIR           := /usr/local/lib 
install: CFG_MANDIR           := /usr/local/share/man 
install: 
install: validating ./install.sh args
install: 
install: verifying destination is writable
install: verifying destination is not the same as source
install: error: unable to find installation manifest at /usr/local/lib/rustlib

To overcome this issue I simply installed the nightly using install.sh and ran install.sh --uninstall.

It seems that the .pkg of the nightly does not place a manifest.in file into /usr/local/lib/rustlib.

The manifest file is generated by the install.sh script for installations that originated from the install.sh script. The pkg installer is intended to be uninstalled by pkg installers. If you google around for "uninstall pkg osx" you'll find a number of utilities intended for uninstalling pkg files.

Closing, as working as designed.
