I had installed uv from brew and was trying to run uv self update. However, that won't work (and it shouldn't, so kudos)!
The only thing was that the error message could be improved a bit.

mahyar@lioness vivaldi % uv self update
error: unrecognized subcommand 'self'

Usage: uv [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>

For more information, try '--help'.
mahyar@lioness vivaldi % uv --version
uv 0.4.18 (Homebrew 2024-10-01)

I would like to see something along the lines of "Hey, it looks like you're trying to self-update. However, uv was installed from and cannot be updated in this way. Please use your package manager to update." or something along those lines.

Thanks for a great and fast tool.

Better missing self update feature

Show the user a proper error message when built without self-update instead of pretending the feature doesn't exist.

```
error: uv was installed through an external package manager, and self-update is not available. Please use your package manager to update uv.
```
