[SOLVED] AUR How to force Rust minimal version

plrigaux · 2025-09-25 01:32:14

Hello

I'm the maintainer of a rust application namely sysd-manager

I got an issue that the user rustc has an outdated version. The user has the rustc version 1.87 but the application requires version 1.89 as described by the application Cargo.toml rust-version = "1.89"

Is there a way to make a PKGBUILD to require at least rustc version 1.89 as a build dependency?

Thank you

Here the PKGBUILD I use

pkgname=sysd-manager
pkgver=
pkgrel=1
epoch=
pkgdesc="A systemd GUI to manage your Services, Timers, Sockets and other units. You can enable, disable, stop and start them. Also, you can view their config file and peak at their journal logs."
arch=('x86_64' 'aarch64')
url="https://github.com/plrigaux/sysd-manager"
license=('GPLv3+')
groups=()
depends=("gtk4" "libadwaita" "systemd-libs" "gtksourceview5" "gettext")
makedepends=('cargo' 'git')

_pkgsrcdir=$pkgname-$pkgver

prepare() {
	cd $_pkgsrcdir
    export RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN=stable
    cargo fetch --locked --target "$(rustc -vV | sed -n 's/host: //p')"
}

build() {
	cd $_pkgsrcdir
	export RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN=stable
	export CARGO_TARGET_DIR=target
	cargo build --locked --release --features default
}

package() {
	cd $_pkgsrcdir
	echo Generating translation files
	echo ""
	cargo run -p transtools -- packfiles
	echo ""
	install -Dm755 "./target/release/sysd-manager" -t "$pkgdir/usr/bin"

	install -Dm644 "./target/loc/io.github.plrigaux.sysd-manager.metainfo.xml" -t "$pkgdir/usr/share/metainfo"
	cp -r          "./target/locale" "$pkgdir/usr/share/" 
}

You can't. The version in the repos is 1.90, so either they're out of date, or they're using rustup to manage their own rust environments. Either way, it's a user problem, not a PKGBUILD problem.

Ok good to know.

Please just confirm if this line is enough

makedepends=('cargo' 'git')

or should I put

makedepends=('rust' 'cargo' 'git')

Does this will supersede rustup?

Thank you

I put it as solved, since it is agreed that is the duty of the user to upgrade its rust if they have installed rustup

from https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/rustup/

Provides: 	cargo, cargo-nightly, lib32-rust-libs, rust, rust-analyzer, rust-musl, rust-nightly, rust-src, rust-wasm, rustfmt

Since rustup provides rust & cargo (just like rust package does) adding rust to makedepends doesn't change anything.
