@djemil, interesting suggestion, thanks. Not doing the --abbrev=0 is probably even better since it gets rid of the rev-parse and probably obsoletes the rev-list too.

@wsippel, building with (fat) lto seems to work just fine for me, besides the obvious slower compilation time.

wsippel commented on 2022-11-21 12:53 (UTC)

Might be a good idea to override the lto build option set in makepkg.conf for this package? options=('!lto') should work I believe. Helix builds with thin lto by default anyway, but fails with fat lto, which is what the global setting appears to force.

replace: printf "r%s.%s" "$(git rev-list --count HEAD)" "$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)" with: printf "%s.r%s.%s" "$(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)" "$(git rev-list --count HEAD)" "$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)" | sed 's/^v//;s/-/./g'

to fix version example: helix-22.08.1.r3767.0b2bb061b-1 vs helix-r3731.652497bd-1

To fix the blank screen, you need to remove the --all-features flag being passed to cargo build. In particular, it enables the --features integration flag, which enables integration testing and disables rendering.

Gives a blank screen.

Black screen with this package, OK when compiled from git.

Probably because they're using cargo install --path helix-term to compile now. See https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/blob/master/README.md

Thanks for your suggestion @lelgenio, I wasn't sure how to properly clone this without having to repeat the operation each time. I applied your sugestion to the PKGBUILD.

I have a suggestion for how to clone submodules without having to repeat the whole download process:

-   rm -rf "${_pkgname}"
-   git clone --recurse-submodules --shallow-submodules -j8 "$_git"
+   cd "${_pkgname}"
+   git submodule update --force --init --recursive --depth 1 --jobs 8

For some reason, this package always wants to upgrade itself. related issue: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/889
