Anyone else having trouble fetching libvaxis?

Fetching: git+https://github.com/rockorager/libvaxis#1e24e0dfb509e974e1c8713bcd119d0ae032a8c7
Failed to fetch: git+https://github.com/rockorager/libvaxis#1e24e0dfb509e974e1c8713bcd119d0ae032a8c7

error: packages failed to build: ghostty-git-1.1.2.r262.gefc1b10-1

And then I tried just to fetch:

zig fetch git+https://github.com/rockorager/libvaxis#1e24e0dfb509e974e1c8713bcd119d0ae032a8c7
/home/grail/.cache/zig/tmp/6e1cd416220280c3/build.zig.zon:2:14: error: expected string literal
    .name = .vaxis,
             ^~~~~

So it seems the build.zig.zon file is busted for them?

Is this package installing for you guys? It is giving me errors:

blueprint-compiler is missing from make dependencies?

gpanders commented on 2025-02-14 16:56 (UTC)

fetch-zig-cache.sh was added back an hour ago https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/pull/5762.

I ditched the nix build stuff entirely. It builds just fine without it.

There seems to be a breaking change upstream, fetch-zig-cache.sh has been removed. The change seems to have occurred in 3a8c934b1937762e00de1959d9f25a25794b4d85.

@munim this is a -git package, just rebuild

v1.1 released yesterday. Waiting for AUR update :)

@adrinux Upstream seems to be miss-handling resources based on what is or isn't available user home directories; that has nothing to do with this packaging.
