A way to force musl platform download if available?

[KarateSnowMachine]

Hello,

I am using Mason on RHEL7 and I ran into an issue where Mason installs the gnu/glibc version of rust-analyzer (which is a perfectly good thing to do). However, when running the binary I get a glibc version error since RHEL7 is ancient. My workaround was simply to hack the package file to just change gnu platform to download the musl package:

 when(platform.is.linux_x64_gnu, "rust-analyzer-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.gz")

And this works fantastically well for me.

However, I wasn't sure if there was simply a way to override the platform detection using a config option so I don't have to keep this local code hack to Mason.

Thanks for your help and a wonderful project!

Hello! No not yet. This will however be possible after https://github.com/mason-org/mason-registry is integrated. It'll work like so:

:MasonInstall --target=linux_x64 rust-analyzer

or alternatively

require("mason-registry").get_package("rust-analyzer"):install { target = "linux_x64" }
