A temporary fix has been put in place until the original repo is restored. You will be able to install Zen again. Once the original repo is restored I will revert the change.

Until this issue is resolved, a temporary source will be used instead (still official)

The Zen GitHub repository seems to be missing. Not sure what is going on, but that explains the errors (404 error)

Receiving error about "files not passing validity check". Tried a clean build, but didn't work.

I hope hope this gets added to extra soon

Larvey commented on 2025-05-04 03:23 (UTC)

Thank you everyone for the kind remarks! I will try my best to update the package as fast as I can, I am currently in the process of moving so it may be a bit more delayed than usual. Thank you for understanding!

I appreciate you keeping this updated!

@Larvey, ok, sorry, I've mistaken -bin and non bin on me system.

echo05 commented on 2025-04-06 17:02 (UTC) (edited on 2025-04-06 17:04 (UTC) by echo05)

@rafnov If packages have a -bin and a non -bin option, then the -bin will come precompiled and the non -bin will have to be compiled on your machine. With large packages like a browser, this will likely take a considerable amount of time and use a lot of CPU resources (It would take my i9 13900k over an hour to compile.) I would recommend sticking with the binary package in this case.
