you're better off contacting her via the github, this comments section is 90% "it's out of date" from people who didn't scroll down before posting

Just a heads up, if you get this error when trying to use paru: "paru: error while loading shared libraries: libalpm.so.13: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

Just git clone the new version and install it that way. Fixed it for me.

Please follow Arch Linux RFC16: use SPDX license identifier in PKGBUILD.

can you please add 'riscv64' to the arch's? I have tested this on a VisionFive 2 and it works fine.

arch=('i686' 'pentium4' 'x86_64' 'arm' 'armv7h' 'armv6h' 'aarch64' 'riscv64')

Amazing

@Morganamilo Please add export RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN=stable in the prepare and build sections because if you don't have any toolchain configured by default you get the following error:

error: rustup could not choose a version of cargo to run, because one wasn't specified explicitly, and no default is configured.
help: run 'rustup default stable' to download the latest stable release of Rust and set it as your default toolchain.

The line should be added before the charge fetch:

prepare() {
  cd "$pkgname-$pkgver"
  export RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN=stable
  cargo fetch --locked --target "$(rustc -vV | sed -n 's|host: ||p')"
}

And before cargo build:

export RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN=stable
cargo build --frozen --features...

Thanks!
