🔢 Build Failed: Dependency Version Mismatch

unsupported zig version: expected 0.14.1, found 0.13.0

Build Details

Build System	zig
Failure Point	zig build -Drelease

Root Cause Analysis 🔍

The TigerBeetle project requires Zig version 0.14.1, but the build environment only has version 0.13.0 installed. This version mismatch causes multiple errors because the build script uses features or APIs that are only available in the newer version.

Analysis

The main issue is a version mismatch between the Zig compiler required by TigerBeetle (version 0.14.1) and the one specified in the Melange YAML file (version 0.13.0). The error message clearly states "unsupported zig version: expected 0.14.1, found 0.13.0". From the upstream changelog, we can see that in PR #2705, TigerBeetle was upgraded to use Zig 0.14.1. This explains why the build is failing - the package definition needs to be updated to match the required Zig version for TigerBeetle 0.16.49.

Explanation

The error message clearly indicates that TigerBeetle 0.16.49 requires Zig version 0.14.1, but the build environment is using Zig 0.13.0. This is confirmed by the upstream changelog entry for TigerBeetle 0.16.49, which mentions "Upgrade to Zig 0.14.1" in PR #2705.

The current Melange YAML specifies zig~0.13 as a dependency, which installs Zig version 0.13.x. To fix this issue, we need to update the dependency specification to zig~0.14, which will install Zig version 0.14.x, including the required 0.14.1 version.

This change aligns with Wolfi's principles of keeping packages up-to-date with upstream requirements. Since TigerBeetle has explicitly upgraded to Zig 0.14.1 in their codebase, we need to match that requirement in our build environment to successfully compile the package.

Alternative Approaches

• Instead of using the tilde (~) operator which matches any version in the 0.14.x range, we could specify the exact version with zig=0.14.1. However, the tilde approach is preferred as it allows for minor updates within the 0.14.x series, which might include important security fixes.
• We could also verify if Wolfi has a package for the specific version needed with zig=0.14.1. If not available, the package maintainer might need to add Zig 0.14.1 to the Wolfi repository first.
