OS X .pkg installer can't be uninstalled

[brson]

This is pretty unfriendly. From some cursory googling I don't see an obvious easy way to make this possible.

Nominating because of first impressions.

Just a comment, I downloaded rust to try it out and I installed the .pkg instead of the script because on the website it says: Recommended Version: nightly (Mac installer). Because the .pkg installer is encouraged, I thought it would at least come with an easy way to remove it.

@inod It's unfortunate :(

My current plan to fix this is to just have .pkg delegate to the tarball installer, which is thoroughly tested.

It's possible to create a .pkg that does not install any files but only runs preinstall/postinstall scripts by passing in --nopayload to pkgbuild (and specifying the install scripts with --scripts). You can try that technique to make a separate uninstaller .pkg that simply runs an uninstall script as a postinstall script, that way OS X users can uninstall rust in a way similar to how they installed it.

Done.
