How to compile all bins in a workspace

[ahaoboy]

I want to compile all the binaries in https://github.com/uutils/coreutils and package them into a single compressed file. However, the commands for the coreutils subpackages and binaries are different, so compiling them individually requires prefixing each bin.

bin: ${{ matrix.bin }}
package: uu_${{ matrix.bin }}

Is there a way to achieve a similar effect as cargo build --workspace and compress all compiled bins?

Something like the following should work in your use case (because cargo build --bin arch --bin wc -p 'uu_*' works):

- id: list-bin
  run: |
    bin_list=''
    for bin in src/uu/*; do
      bin=$(basename "${bin}")
      bin_list+="${bin},"
    done
    echo "bin=${bin_list}" >>"${GITHUB_OUTPUT%,}"
- run: taiki-e/upload-rust-binary-action@v1
  with:
    bin: ${{ steps.list-bin.outputs.bin }}
    package: 'uu_*'

(Although I feel it would be better to add an option to pass --workspace to Cargo.)

Added in 1.29.0. package: 'uu_*' in the above example could be replaced with workspace: true.
