Bug 796596 – dev-lang/zig: keywording

• Status: CONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Aisha Tammy 2021-06-18 10:49:45 UTC]

upstream says that it can be made on all LLVM archs so we can keyword for all of them.

(Avoid CCing arches manually, let the bot. do it. when it's ready)

zig succesfully builds on ppc64 but it won't install as this arch is not supported. ;)

I can confirm that dev-lang/zig builds successfully on arm64 (aarch64). I have been using 0.8.0 for a while now and have not experienced any issues.

arm64 done

It builds on ppc64 but tells us afterwards it'S not supported:

arm done

[Comment 9 Eric Joldasov 2022-04-03 15:59:02 UTC]

As I understand it (from https://ziglang.org/download/), we can build Zig on these targets: amd64, x86, riscv (64 bit variant, I can't find it in arch.list), arm64, arm

[Comment 10 Jakov Smolić 2022-06-07 07:52:11 UTC]

Let's add more arches to try to match ncdu-1.* keywords (since ncdu-2 needs zig). There are pre-built binaries available so we will probably use those as well and add -bin version.

I'll remove the blocker given we have zig-bin on riscv
