PKGBUILD is broken — upstream rewrote reaction in Rust

The project migrated from Go to Rust. make still works (it calls cargo build --release), but package() references binaries and paths that no longer exist:

• reaction binary is now at target/release/reaction (not repo root)
• ip46tables and nft46 were removed upstream
• Service file moved from config/reaction.example.service to packaging/reaction.service
• arch should be x86_64 (or mapped to actual target)
• makedepends needs cargo, not go/gcc

Here's a patch to resolve:

Hello, the package fails to build as it now requires cargo to be built, also changing the compiled artifacts paths. Also it no longer provides ip46tables.

Thanks tomaszc, the PKGBUILD has been updated!

Thanks for adding this program to the AUR.

For the latest versions, a PKGBUILD change is required, adding the nft46 file and an updated path to reaction.service:

-    install -Dm644 "${pkgname}/config/reaction.debian.service" "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/systemd/system/reaction.service"
+    install -Dm755 "${pkgname}/nft46" "${pkgdir}/usr/bin/nft46"
+    install -Dm644 "${pkgname}/config/reaction.example.service" "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/systemd/system/reaction.service"
