Arch Linux User Repository

@res0nanz thanks for the patch, applied it and seems to be building and packaging just fine, though haven't tested...

The backend is missing. Can we adopt the build instructions from the repo?

I don't personally use that package and I don't have much time nor interest to (co-)maintain it anymore so I'm stepping down as a co-maintainer.
Good luck for the future :)

@BryanLiang For what it's worth, I was able to build this package in a clean chroot just fine. You could try that on your side.
See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot#Convenience_way

@Teddy-Kun, Thanks for raising this, it is now fixed. I switched the toolchain to nightly in this commit.

Build fails with "error: failed to download atk v0.17.1". To fix this change "export RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN=stable" to "export RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN=nightly".

@polycrylate Works on my end.

According to the error message, you can eventually try to remove the --frozen option from the build section in the PKGBUILD on your side.

Hey, I get an error when installing:

error: failed to download `anyhow v1.0.70`

Caused by:
  attempting to make an HTTP request, but --frozen was specified

@jgmdev Alright! Thanks for pushing the improvements and adding me as a co-maintainer :)
