Arch Linux User Repository

I have sent an email to the submitter and maintainer to ask for either an update or disowning the package.

Maintainer here, I released 9.1.0 now.

@TechXero: The new fork has no releases yet, there's nothing to be done here.

PKGBUILD should be updated to reflect new fork as main dev has decided to abandon project...

All dependencies should be handled by the PKGBUILD. This is not OK:

error: rustup could not choose a version of cargo to run, because one wasn't specified explicitly, and no default is configured.
help: run 'rustup default stable' to download the latest stable release of Rust and set it as your default toolchain.

You shouldn't have some requirement like "the user must first run command xyz before building." It needs to work on a clean installation of arch as long as all the dependencies have been installed via pacman. Otherwise you're just blocking people from automating system upgrades. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of this product?

Anyway, you should make sure this is building with the proper toolchain regardless. Something like this would be more reliable:

cargo +stable build --release

or put it in Cargo.toml

And you'll need to make sure it's available on the user's system. This works:

rustup install stable
cargo +stable build --release

That doesn't work for people who satisfy the rust dependency with something other than rustup, but frankly there's no good reason to do that. Attempting to accommodate users who set up their system incorrectly is only introducing unnecessary complexity. I would make rustup itself a dependency rather than just rust.

compiling error with:

error: rustc -vV didn't have a line for host:, got:

Okay, it builds in a clean chroot. I guess, it is a rust vs. rustup thingy. But namcap tells me, gcc-libs is a dependency.

Having rust compiler errors trying to build topgrade recently. Most are "not allowed in a const fn" flavors.

   = note: this error originates in a macro (in Nightly builds, run with -Z macro-backtrace for more info)

I had to manually install a binary from github as a workaround.
