Hello, I'm getting the following errors right now when trying to build Anki

Using 6.2.16-1-MANJARO

thanks for the catch, updated

sed -i 's/channel = [0-9\.]*$/channel = "stable"/' rust-toolchain.toml should be changed to sed -i 's/channel = "[0-9\.]*"$/channel = "stable"/' rust-toolchain.toml because the version number is in quotes. Currently it does nothing so the package still builds with 1.68.2

With 2.1.64 I gave the PKGBUILD a major overhaul to install a bit cleaner. A great help for this was GitHub user 'antecrescent' with his gentoo PR: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/31122

Major changes:

• major overhaul. All fetching is now done in prepare() the latest. build() can be run offline
• moved back to tarballs, patching .git folder manually
• all typecheck/formatting dependencies are stripped out as this is only required for development
• pip-sync is masked during build as we provide dependencies ourselves
• we use the most recent stable rust toolchain in the build
• yarn and cargo store their cache in $srcdir, a yay/paru -Sc will now more reliably reset the build environment

@adriantsai As the error clearly states, you couldn't compile due to a connection timeout for your dependency fetching. This might be a temporary outage upstream for the node repo or your internet connection got interrupted. Try again. If unsure, please clean your cache via yay -Sc (defaults are good)

Package failed to compile due to node dependencies.

@mrsrd0 Thanks for reporting! A bit odd as it should build in a clean chroot and compiled for me on two separate machines/setups as well. As always, please ensure that base-devel is installed and in doubt delete various .cache folders: .cache/yarn, .cache/yay/anki, .cache/pip, ~/.rustup.

If the error persists please provide more information about your particular setup. (any packages held back? special version of rust/node?) Alternatively, you could always use build-scripts such as extra-x86_64-build from devtools (execute in .cache/yay/anki) to build in a clean chroot and install afterwards via pacman -U <anki.zst>

The package fails to compile for me

 -> error making: anki-exit status 4
 -> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required:
anki - exit status 4

Thank you very much for the help, @Ugzuzg !

Additionally to now using local node/yarn I have added the following:

• As I wanted this package to build with link time optimization (LTO) I have forced the build to use mold for now.

• rust packages are built with opt-level = 3 as to my knowledge, not opt-level = 1 as previously given by the anki devs.

• rust packages are fetched in prepare(), not build(), for a cleaner install process as recommended by the Rust package guidelines.

@AlexBocken, this worked for me:
