Build error

Current behavior 😯

cargo install --git https://github.com/jaskij/cargo-bitbake.git (which transitively depends on gix-path) fails to build:

Thanks for reporting! Does it work with —locked?

[NoelJacob]

I got it too with a tool having it as dependency

[jdiez17]

Thanks for the fast reply!
I haven't tried with --locked, but what fixed it for me was updating the git2 dependency from 0.18.3 to 0.19.0.
Still, it may be that there's a bug in the gitoxide version that git2@0.18.3 depends.

I think this might be related to #1466 #1467

I am glad it works now!

Unfortunately these build issues occor from time to time and one may hope that it will the chance of this will decrease over time.

Meanwhile, I think there is nothing left to be done here, so I am closing the issue. Please feel free to keep posting if anything new comes up.
