Upgrading to fmt 10

bradrn · 2023-07-15 02:16:15

Version 10.0.0 of fmt provides support for several new formatting styles, which I would like to use in waybar. Unfortunately, it appears that Arch only provides fmt-9.1.0. I attempted to manually create an fmt-10.0.0 package, only to discover that spdlog (a dependency of waybar) specifically depends on ‘libfmt.o=9-64’. What should I do in this situation?

You would need to build the package in a clean chroot, add it to a repo, rebuild everything else on your system that uses it in a clean chroot using that repo, the update the system from there.

What do you mean by this?

You could do it without a repo by using the -I option for each package file to install them into the chroot as well.
