Hi, I did some more work on the copyright file, I think it may be ready to be reviewed. The package is now again at https://mentors.debian.net/package/zig/
I looked at updating to Zig 0.10.0 (released Oct 31). However, there are significant changes to the build between 0.9.1 and 0.10.0. Release notes are at https://ziglang.org/download/0.10.0/release-notes.html Zig 0.9.1 simply built a Zig compiler using the system provided compiler and libraries. This new release attempts to do a self hosted build. Details are at https://ziglang.org/download/0.10.0/release-notes.html#Self-Hosted-Compiler There are three stages to the 0.10.0 build. As I understand them, they are: 1. Build a zig compiler using system compilers and libraries (similar to 0.9.1). 2. Use the zig compiler from stage 1 to build a zig compiler from zig bundled libraries. 3. Repeat stage 2 using the zig compiler in produced in stage 2. Attempting this on Debian unstable (and also on bullseye with backported llvm-15) resulted in a failure at stage 2. It seems the build was not able to find a particular header file. There may be other problems too, but I did not investigate further. The release notes actually suggest waiting until Zig 0.10.1 or Zig 0.11.0 before upgrading from 0.9.1. It seems there will be even larger changes to the build system for Zig 0.11.0 so I'm not sure how much effort upstream will be put into fixing build related issues in 0.10.0. So, at this point I think it may be best to wait for the next release before attempting to update this package. Regards, Nick.
