Not out of date.

https://github.com/facebook/watchman/releases/tag/v2025.02.10.00 does not have the required watchman-*-linux.zip asset and can't be packaged.

This used to happen just sometimes and we then skipped that release, but since April 2024, upstream's builds have been consistently broken and they don't seem interested in fixing it.

Sorry. I flagged as outdated and read the comment after.

I opened an issue in their repo.

I managed to build the latest watchman from the source, and it solved the crashing problem.

You can find my PKGBUILDs at https://github.com/Xinkai/watchman-PKGBUILDs/

I will wait for a while before publishing these on AUR because the changeset required is too large for what could be a short-term issue.

v2021.08.23.00 is currently the last release for which Facebook has provided binaries.

heftig commented on 2021-05-12 19:46 (UTC)

Should be fixed now.

heftig commented on 2021-05-12 19:34 (UTC)

I can reproduce it building with devtools. Investigating...

I called ldd on /usr/bin/watchman and got:

❯ ldd /usr/bin/watchman
        not a dynamic executable

It seems the executable is corrupted. The watchman from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/watchman/ gives:

❯ ldd /usr/bin/watchman
