Haven't extensively tested this, but this PKGBUILD uses CentOS 7 distribution for 5.6.1 https://gist.githubusercontent.com/abarisain/eed1965b93b85710be266a36b92c4232/raw/14fbe130ba01db8d4e6d96686647798a0d31baf8/PKGBUILD

Had to rewrite libtinfo to libncurses: /usr/lib/libtinfo.so is a plaintext file that says "INPUT(libncurses.so.6)" which fails at runtime As ncurses contains the tinfo feature, I skipped the middleman rather than linking to libtinfo.so.6

CentOS 8 deprecated https://github.com/apple/swift/pull/42343

I will maintain swift-bin for the time being. If anyone wants to be a co-maintainer, please let me know.

P.S. I have made python36 an optional dependency.

kylef commented on 2021-10-23 08:46 (UTC)

@refi.64, any thoughts to making python36 an optional dependency? It isn't needed for many uses of Swift, only the REPL (which not everyone uses). To be honest, I do patch the PKGBUILD to drop this dependency out myself.

pcbeard commented on 2021-09-21 06:54 (UTC)

Same patch works for the 5.5 release, just had to change pkgver=5.5.

5.4.3 is out. What would it take to move forward? This patch worked for me:

Surprisingly the missing ':' character bug still persists. Fixed in Ubuntu.

Also, when I run the swift command, I see these errors:

warning: (x86_64) /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 unsupported DW_FORM value: 0x1f
warning: (x86_64) /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 unsupported DW_FORM value: 0x1f

silverhammermba illuser: Python 3.6 is required by liblldb, if you try to start the Swift REPL it'll break without it. It's an unfortunate consequence of having to use binaries that weren't built for Arch. (rpmextract was a mistaken holdover from the past, though, I've removed it.)
