@alerque right, sorry!

@Rubo Please don't flag this as out of date until there is a tagged release available upstream. It is interesting to see there is recent dev activity again upstream, but that is not a reason for this to be flagged. Use xi-core-git if you want the bleeding edge upstream build.

@alerque

I don't really use this package anymore, so I don't actively maintain it. I think you'll do a much better job than me, feel free to take it over :)

This build has some issues with the way it calls cargo. Specifically the final installed binary is not the one built in build(), it is the one made in check() that is compiled using the bench profile. This issue and how to fix it is documented in Rust package guidelines, along with some other improvements this could use. I'm still wiling to help maintain this if you'd like a hand.

Upstream URL is still not fixed. This also doen't need git to build, and there are a few other improvements that could be made. Please consider adding me as a co-maintainer so I can fix these issues, or at least apply this patch using git am < file.ptach:

Github repository namespace has changed. Also why is this package called xi-core instead of xi-editor? I had some trouble finding it in the AUR.
