Presenterm does not install using cargo or AUR helper

[pwnwriter]

Should be providing 0.6.1 version now !

I don't use arch so it's hard for me to debug this. I did try presenterm-git on an arch docker image a few weeks back and had no issues with it.

I'd suggest using a pre-compiled binary instead. presenterm-bin is outdated (@pwnwriter would you mind please updating it?) but you can get the binary from the release page.

In bus 🚌,

Give me a few minutes.

I'll use the binary instead for now, thanks.

To clarify: I know that the AUR doesn't always work as expected, but from what I can tell the helper is simply calling cargo install presenterm and adding the compiled program to the list of packages it's managing. So I would imagine this is a problem with the way cargo is handling the dependencies, or with the way the dependencies are passed to cargo. Regardless, I'm sure the binary will do fine for now - cheers!

Tbh I'm not sure what's the point of the -git package as like you say it's basically a wrapper over git clone + cargo build. But yeah, there may be a problem in that regex crate not detecting something properly in your setup.

@zach-is-my-name I just tried compiling on a fresh ubuntu VPS. It does compile. Are you still facing the same issue?

This is complaining about the jpeg-decoder crate, it's unrelated to presenterm. See this issue rust-lang/rust#118385, something may be broken in your installation.
