Arch Linux User Repository

A new version has been released. Maybe you can update the PKGBUILD for the new rust version

https://github.com/latex-lsp/texlab/releases/tag/v1.2.0

I started to patch the PKGBUILD locally and came this far:

But as you can see I could not figure out if and where to install the completion database.

Thanks!

Thanks. I will be updating ASAP.

texlab has officially switched the master branch over to the Rust rewrite of the server. An updated PKGBUILD should follow the instructions here: https://github.com/latex-lsp/texlab#building to build the new version; dependencies will include npm and cargo, while the Java dependencies can be removed.
