PSA: The shared lib is now split into a separate package, so you'll need to remove the previous version before updating to 0.1.2-3.

@dreleck: That's just how Cargo works, it's a package manager and needs to download the dependencies. Go and NPM are similar in that regard.

This package fails to build on internet connection with 1 Mbit/s speed -- in build() (!!), stuff gets downloaded, and some stuff seems to timeout before finished; somehing assumes a priviliged high speed internet connection:

(The "Waiting for unfinished jobs...." and the "thread 'main' panicked at [...]" each take several minutes of time while still the internet connection is busy; maybe the download tries to finish while some hypervising thread thinks it failed?).

Is it possible for you to move all downloads into the source-array, so that makepkg's download configuration can be honoured? Alternatively, using prepare() and using there some non-timeouting-while-still-data-is-slowly-flowing download method?

Also note the "panicing" because of missing files ...

By the way, why does some static fixed version rustc needs to be downloaded in build()? This should be left to source-array ... also enabling check summing possibility ...

Thanks for maintaining!

@smsx: Fixed.

seems to be a typo with the newest dependencies. It attempts to install libfirmwaremanager but the actual package name is libfirmware-manager.

@yochananmarqos This worked. Thanks

@jsimon0: I solved the issue in my firmware-manager-git package by using a Polkit policy. Try that out. You'll be able to run the binary just as firmware-manager and use the menu shortcut. It will prompt for elevation.

While this builds for me, I cannot run it. I get the following exception at runtime if I run with elevated permissions. Anybody else?

$ pkexec firmware-manager
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused

Backtrace omitted. Run with RUST_BACKTRACE=1 to display it.
Run with RUST_BACKTRACE=full to include source snippets.

The application panicked (crashed).
  failed to init GTK: BoolError { message: "Failed to initialize GTK", filename: "/home/jsimon/.cargo/registry/src/github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823/gtk-0.9.2/src/rt.rs", function: "gtk::rt", line: 129 }

Obviously, if I run it without elevated permissions, it opens but doesn't work.

@dreieck Version 0.1.1-2 adds a firmware-manager symlink.

@dreieck: I symlink com.system76.FirmwareManager to firmware-manager in my firmware-manager-git package. However, it makes no sense to symlink com.system76.FirmwareManager.Notify as it's only used by com.system76.FirmwareManager.Notify.service.

As far as the Cargo crates, that's how it works. Go packages are similar. Please don't spam every AUR package that uses Rust. See Arch package guidelines.
