As a hint to everyone using this, it will not work out of the box, it will try to symlink the selected zig compiler to /usr/bin/ which you dont have permission for likely, I set up an alias which always sets the --path-link option to a folder thats on the $PATH that I have regular access to.I have $HOME/.local/bin on my path so something like:
alias zigup="zigup --path-link $HOME/.local/bin/zig"
in your .bashrc or whatever shell you use will help with this.

Please remove provides=('zig') and conflicts=('zig'). Currently, this implies that the package is a direct drop-in replacement for zig, which is not the case. If you install zigup-bin and run zig, you will get:

$ zig
bash: zig: command not found

As a result, packages that depend on zig cannot be built without manual intervention. Arguably, anyzig, a replacement for zigup, kind of provides zig, but only when run from within the source directory, which is not always the case. zigup, on the other hand, does not implement this behavior at all.

To address this, I have created anyzig-zig* and zigup-zig*, which are shell wrapper scripts that invoke their respective backends with a specified version of zig.
