Description
I'm currently doing issue triaging for the Rustup project, and I've found out that when it comes to Rust installation instructions (esp. for newcomers), some will link to https://forge.rust-lang.org/infra/other-installation-methods.html, while others will point to https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup/installation/index.html.
I have realized that the scope of these two pages are slightly different, but regarding the section on Rustup's installation (which is a bit outdated already), I think maybe https://forge.rust-lang.org/infra/other-installation-methods.html#other-ways-to-install-rustup should be removed in favor of a link to Rustup's docs at https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup/installation/other.html. That way, we can maintain a single source of truth.
How does that sound?

Yes, that seems like a good idea, infra doesn't really maintain this specifically (as opposed to the rustup team) AFAICT

Actually, I double-checked: it's not quite simple as just a replacement, because the forge docs here actually has a
rustup-init
generated listing for each target that we ship dist toolchains for:rami3l commentedon May 28, 2025
@jieyouxu That list has been duplicated in https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup/installation/other.html#manual-installation.

Ah! I completely missed the drop-down on a cursory glance :P
