I think the package is now in a good and maintainable state. I would love to pull this in now. Thoughts?

Friendly ping :)

What's the reason behind smolvm.sh? I don't think it should be required.

Also you don't need conflicts=('smolvm-git' 'smolvm-bin') since this is the primary package. The others need to conflict, this one doesn't.

For the submodules, you should take inspiration from a pacakge using submodules such as this.

@svenstaro Yay finally XD, I updated the PKGBULID to use cargo-make in smolvm 1.0.2-1 and you where right the thing is much cleaner now, thanks (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶).

but i didn't manage to test all the functionality because it keeps giving me

mount `mqueue` to `dev/mqueue`: No such device

when i try to run smolvm machine run --net --image alpine -- sh -c "echo 'Hello world from a microVM' && uname -a"

but am not sure if this issue is from my host or the PKGBUILD

Nice, upstream added the lockfile!

@svenstaro Not yet, but it's on my queue. Sorry for the delay on my side. I'm working on this in my free time, which has been a bit limited lately. I hope to have an update sometime today. Thanks for your patience.

Did you try making use of the upstream build scripts? I'd still wanna pull this in and I'd even be ok maintaining my own lockfile but I think the PKGBUILD is just too large to maintain easily.

About the lockfile: I think you have the right idea but you should ask upstream to add one.

that was the plan but i didnt get the time yet

And I still don't quite understand why we're not doing cargo make dist as upstream does.

Actually the main reason that i didnt notice that they use cargo-make. I will look into that

thanks (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)
