Installation succeeds and 

gforth --version

returns version correctly. Attempting to run though fails with:

~/.cache/gforth/amd64/libcc-tmp/libgfdisasm2.la:

I believe there may be some kind of missing dependency.

@fiz I saw aur/gforth abandoned and took it over to get it working again. I see it's a 'depend' here, can you confirm this is intended? I can confirm it successfully compiles and replaces aur/gforth with this -git version.

I was going to modify aur/gforth to follow the tagged releases from git, but I'm not sure if that's the best approach.

My two questions:

-Should I leave aur/gforth at 0.7.3?

-Is aur/gforth a package you'd like to maintain?

b4283 commented on 2024-08-23 15:49 (UTC)

fiz, that's totally okay and no worries at all. It's an overstatement I have any real contribution because it rarely needs my attention -- but thanks for saying that.

I've added you to the co-maintainer of the package and you should have full access to the aur git repo now. Then if you can confirm that I'll disown the package, which will automatically makes you the owner.

fiz commented on 2024-08-23 15:35 (UTC)

b4283, if you are okay with that sure, I can take it over. But I don't want to rip it away from you, since we appreciate your work over the last 5 years, we can also call a webhook of your choice to bump the version, if you want to do that.

Please let me know your choice, and if you want to hand the package over, please point me to the HowTo (could not find instructions for a direct handover, only orphaned and the like).

b4283 commented on 2024-08-23 00:50 (UTC)

fiz, you can take over the package if that works better for you

fiz commented on 2024-08-16 20:52 (UTC)

hi, I am one of the Gforth maintainers and we were wondering if it would be possible to update the version of this package via CI, as we are doing for other distros. As we understand, all that would be required is checking out the package-repo, update the pkgver variable to the latest tag and commit&push it. Please let us know if we can add this to our CI, or if we can call a webhook somewhere to make this happen.

please update version number, new gforth is 0.7.9_20230518

acdw commented on 2021-04-01 03:04 (UTC)

gforth also requires 'tex' binary to for make doc .. does that need to be a build dependency? Or am I missing a common dependency?
