Ah thanks, I forgot I had installed rustup a long time ago. Sorry for the noise, I look forward to trying it out soon!

@japhir almost certainly rust version problem, use rust from arch repos or keep rustup up to date

I get a build error:

same for jay-git.

@wallabra: See my comment below. When makedepends is much looser, the build can fail in a different way with a strange error that doesn't tell you wants going on.

Loosen the makedepends version constraint on rust. It breaks compatibility with rustup, and likely won't have a practical difference even for anyone who has Rust installed on their system via system package manager instead, assuming their system is even slightly up to date.

Same applies for jay-git.

fixed both, thanks

The setup.md instructions in jay's upstream repo say to install jay-portals.conf directly into /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal, but this PKGBUILD (line 49) incorrectly installs it to the /portals subdir, which prevents the portal from working at all by default. Would it be possible to correct this in your PKGBUILD? Thanks.

Failed to build with rustc 1.80.0, but succeeded with rust 1.84.0. It would be great if the PKGBUILD could be updated to specify a minimum Rust version so it could either automatically upgrade Rust or at least fail more gracefully if a too-old Rust compiler was detected.
