I tried this exactly on staging-next at the time and it didn't fail....

I'll probably going to patch the time update because wezterm is currently reworking Wayland support a lot and in the days after a release usually several bugs are discovered.

#334818

[spiage]

I'll test it ASAP, after this =)

Is there any option to let the package to be built alone?
I have 128Gb of memory, but usually two of them can force OOM, so I have to use swap :)

[spiage]

I know about -jN, but I mean something like build_parallel = false;

My current memory load, while building this three packages

A failed update originally led me to the issue Rust 1.80.0 breaks some packages and then to the Merge-Request #334818.

@SuperSandro2000 Has this change changed anything about the basic functionality of WezTerm? At least for me it has destroyed the font rendering, only boxes are displayed instead of letters.

Here is a screenshot, on the left with the version from the previous Revision #957d95fc of my System Flake compared to Revision #91b4c602 of the merge request on the right and my broken Starship prompt.

I have pinned the working terminal on the left back to the old revision in my system configuration.

The broken one on the right can be started with the following command.

nix-shell -p wezterm -I nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/91b4c602cc51732ec0d3a491684cd03f20773dec.tar.gz --command wezterm

[SuperSandro2000]

Has this change changed anything about the basic functionality of WezTerm?

I highly doubt it. The time crate has hopefully not so much influence on font rendering. There is probably something else off. I have that bug now locally, too.
Graphic rendering is just such a disaster....

Their matrix channel hinted me at a potential wgpu issue. For me setting front_end = "WebGpu" worked around this.
