Please add a makedepends to pkgconf, otherwise the build fails:
thread 'main' panicked at 'called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: Could not run `"pkg-config" "--libs" "--cflags" "libalpm" "libalpm >= 13.0.0"`
The pkg-config command could not be found.
Got the same error, your rust toolchain is outdated.
rfonseca posted the solution.
I was also getting the same compilation error. The problem was that rustc was not updated.
I've installed rustup instead of the rust package. So I had to run rustup update to update rustc and after that it worked.
This package does not build after the update:
error: doc alias attribute expects a string: #[doc(alias = "0")]

To learn more, run the command again with --verbose.

Actually yes, I think doas / su / friends should be listed as optdepends here.
Also this should probably depend on base-devel. It is assumed for all package building scenarios, and even though it is part of the instructions to install this, right now you can install it (e.g. directly from my unofficial user repository) on a fresh base system without being forewarned that it really needs base-devel to function as anything beyond a pacman alias.
By that logic pacman should (opt)depend on fakeroot and sudo too, because makepkg uses them at runtime. Anyway I guess the issue at hand is that people specifically remove sudo after installing base-devel, because they want to use doas or su or some such. That's going to lead to issues down the road either way, e.g. when using devtools.
@alad, sudo is included in the base-devel, however should still be listed as an optdepends=(). I believe listing sudo in optdepends=() makes it clear for PKGBUILD readers.
@Alad That logic applies to makedepends=(), not for depends=(). Anything is base-deve! is presumed and does not need to be listed as a build time dependency. In this case sudo is a optional run time dependency, hence it can (and I believe should) be listed as such. It is not part of base.
sudo is part of base-devel, so no, it should not be listed as a dependency - not a regular one, nor an optional one.
