Why does cargo write to /usr/local/, requiring root permission even for a user-level or local package install? After #1756 I thought it would build and install in ./ by default, and with -g in ~/, and with -G in /usr/local/, but here we are:
$ cargo install rustx
rust: upcall fail 'can't make_dir /usr/local/lib/cargo/sources', /code/rust/src/cargo/cargo.rs:176
rust: domain main @0x1382e80 root task failed
rust: upcall fail 'killed', /code/rust/src/libcore/task.rs:454
$ cargo -g install rustx
rust: upcall fail 'can't make_dir /usr/local/lib/cargo/sources', /code/rust/src/cargo/cargo.rs:176
rust: domain main @0x15dde80 root task failed
rust: upcall fail 'killed', /code/rust/src/libcore/task.rs:454
Furthermore, once I use sudo:
$ sudo cargo install rustx
