Now our old friend is there again, probably I have to set something in the new build system or fe is not built at all:

ack: Cannot find description for fe

which it searches in:

openat(AT_FDCWD, "/data/INSTALL/ack-git/pkg/ack-git/usr/share/ack/descr/fe", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

which is the build location, ok.

It is installed here:

pacman -Ql ack-git | grep '/fe'
ack-git /usr/share/ack/descr/fe

currentty the patch doesn't apply and I get an UNREACHABLE_CODE compilation error, must investiage..

make in build has to set the FINAL PREFIX=/usr, so that the installed compiler can find it's subcommands and data. Otherwise you just get this when invoking it:

ack: Cannot find description for fe

sh: line 1: /data/INSTALL/ack-git/src/ack-build/staging/bin/aslod: No such file or directory

Adding util/amisc+aslod-pkg to ack/plat/cpm/build-pkg.lua in installable helped, could be totally wrong.

Taking ack from git directly works, no clue really what goes wrong here.

/data/INSTALL/ack-git/src/ack-build/staging/bin/ack: /data/INSTALL/ack-git/src/ack-build/staging/lib/ack/linuxppc/top

Setting CFLAGS="" in make in build helps. Most likely something to do with too much optimization or fortfication.

/bin/sh: line 1: lua: command not found
make: *** [Makefile:114: /data/INSTALL/ack-git/src/ack-build/build.ninja] Error 127

There is a makedepends lua reqired now.

Hello,

The package is not working, you need to update the repo to use https (git+https://) like this source=("git+https://github.com/davidgiven/ack.git") as Github changed its defaults https://github.blog/2021-09-01-improving-git-protocol-security-github/
