XZ-compressed zstd package pruned from repository?

[nabijaczleweli]

idk if this is the right place to post this, but: https://repo.msys2.org/msys/x86_64/ no longer contains XZ-compressed zstd packages, so it's impossible to do updates from AppVeyor, for example.

The strategy used to be to download and install, in order: msys2-keyring (XZ), zstd (XZ), pacman (XZ), msys2-keyring (zstd), then update, then it Just Works, but I can't do that anymore, since zstd (XZ) appears to have been pruned (and, for that matter, so has pacman (XZ)).

This is a corollary to #2353, I guess?

That's many months ago. Try to use latest build image in Appveyor or manually install latest msys2 installer in CI or use GitHub Actions.

No it wasn't. The latest build that worked is 6 days old. I don't run dailies, but that's the upper bound.

[Biswa96]

You have mentioned the older zstd package explicitly. That workaround may not be required anymore. Let me play with it.

[Biswa96]

Build succeeded without those old workarounds. Would you like to accept pull request to fix the Appveyor build?

[nabijaczleweli]

Can't reproduce this myself, so sure

Great, thanks – nabijaczleweli/cargo-update#202.

That fixes it for me, so closing.
