I also couldn't build niri-git due to LFS, but using the patch from @dougEfresh solves this problem. Why do we need LFS to build niri?

dougEfresh commented on 2026-01-09 10:37 (UTC)

I agree with @Gumminess7654 No reason to have LFS as requirement. Here is a patch

Why is Git LFS a dependency for this package? LFS is only used for images in the documentation and is not required for building niri. LFS blobs are also not part of the release tar balls.

@FreeFull @musta_ruhtinas yes, of cause, i tried to clean paru's cache for plenty of times. But still failed. If i directy build in the src , it will success.(so much crazy , even with cargo build --release --all-features ) logs witch '--verbose' options is here https://paste.centos.org/view/1e74c27d https://pastebin.com/d7nJF6E4 ( /home/$USER is replaced with ~ )

FreeFull commented on 2025-11-18 12:11 (UTC)

@stevessr I haven't been able to reproduce this either, but I'm guessing you just need to do a clean rebuild of niri-git.

musta_ruhtinas commented on 2025-11-18 12:09 (UTC)

@stevessr after i sorted out the makepkg-git-lfs-proto problem it always built fine in a clean chroot, have you tried clearing paru's cache?

stevessr commented on 2025-11-18 11:21 (UTC) (edited on 2025-11-18 11:22 (UTC) by stevessr)

@FreeFull I installed rustc 1.91.1 (ed61e7d7e 2025-11-07) & 1.93.0-nightly (0df64c578 2025-11-17 this is my default) the dots are things like

@stevessr

Was there any more info where you've put the ...? I can't figure out what's wrong from just the error itself. Also, which version of rust are you using?

stevessr commented on 2025-11-16 11:07 (UTC)

well i met a problem while building recently

musta_ruhtinas commented on 2025-11-01 13:44 (UTC)

@FreeFull, @cosmo Of course it worked once makepkg-git-lfs-proto was installed on the host. I installed it into the chroot and still could not build.
