Arch Linux User Repository

Adopted and updated. Make sure to fetch the signing keys from GitHub and import them before building:

curl -sS https://github.com/elkowar.gpg | gpg --import -i -
curl -sS https://github.com/web-flow.gpg | gpg --import -i -

Package may not build in chroot, since cargo-nightly is provided by rustup(-git) as well.
Consider using rust-nightly(-bin) explicitly as make dependency instead of it.

@eclairevoyant Thanks for clearing that up, I was mistaken clean build with a clean chroot. Using a clean chroot with paru indeed worked, though I've had to disable ccache in makepkg.conf.

@NoXPhasma yay does not have an option for clean chroots, only aurutils and paru do. Even then, they don't use it by default.

If you didn't set up a local repository and chroot manually but try to use aurutils or paru, then you are not using a clean chroot. see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot

@FabioLolix The approach with devtools and extra-x86_64-build worked for me.

@eclairevoyant I was using a clean chroot, not only told I yay to use one, I also tried to manually delete the build folder. I've then installed paru and it shows the same exact error. And even using makepkg -si in the cloned folder shows the same error. I don't know why it fails for me, it worked fine before.

@FabioLolix TanakaSan's issue was from before I added the patch, but I agree that @NoXPhasma is clearly not building in a clean chroot

@TanakaSan @NoXPhasma could not reproduce your issue both using makepkg and devtools (extra-x86_64-build), since this pkgbuild don't depends on other AUR pkgbuilds is easy to build with devtools; that will also let you use rust on your system while rustup will be installed in the chroot

I can't build with latest changes to the pkgbuild. This is the error:

error: could not compile eww (bin "eww") due to 3 previous errors
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

@TanakaSan Upstream CI uses the latest nightly and all PRs will be run against this CI. Therefore I will be using the nightly toolchain here.

Hello, I am new to arch, and trying to install eww-x11-git with paru.

now, when I run paru -S eww-x11-git, it fails to build package with following compile errors; error[E0635],error[E0635],error[E0599],error[E0599]

I do not write error details, but I am quite sure the reason of these errors are depends on rust-toolchain version issue. PKGBUILD overwrites the rust-toolchain version to nightly. However, actual required toolchain version is "nightly-2022-08-27" as it is written in rust-toolchain.toml

Therefore, rather we define rust-toolchain version on ourselves, it is better to use rust-toolchain.toml

Here is solution:

remove export RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN=nightly from both prepare() and build() section.

remove cargo fetch --locked --target "$CARCH-unknown-linux-gnu". Instead of this, run rustup show to install appropreate rust-toolchain version.

thank you for maintaining repo :)

I believe elkowar's pgp key expired and the package no longer builds by default
