How to tell aqua backend which release to use?

[dhanak]

Hi!

It seems that the aqua backend prefers the musl release if there is one. In case of eza, however, there is a small issue with the musl binary, that doesn't exist with the linux-gnu release. Therefore, I'd prefer to use the latter.

With the ubi backend, I can use the matching parameter to specify which release to use. This doesn't work with aqua, and looking and the source code of the backend didn't reveal any options, either.

My current workaround is, therefore, to use ubi:

[tools]                                                                                                          
eza = { version = "latest", matching = "gnu" }  

[alias]                                                                                                          
eza = "ubi:eza-community/eza"

Here's my mise dr output:
