My solution to this is:

1) Subscribe to the GitHub repo for tag/release updates.

2) When I get a notification of a new version, I run a shell function (meup-uv and meup-ruff) which grabs the latest tag via a GET request and runs an install. I don't remember the semantics off the top of my head, but it's something like:

    cargo install --jobs $(( $(nproc) / 2 )) --tag ${TAG} --git ${REPO} [uv|ruff]
Of course this implies I'm willing to wait the ~5-10 minutes for these apps to compile, along with the storage costs of the registry and source caches. Build times for ruff aren't terrible, but uv is a straight up "kick off and take a coffee break" experience on my system (it gets 6-8 threads out of my 12 total depending on my mood).
