Outdated Cargo.lock file?

[carlocab]

exa is currently failing to build for Homebrew with Rust 1.49 on Apple Silicon: Homebrew/homebrew-core#68089

It appears this is due to a stale lock file, causing cargo install --locked to pull in dependencies that do not work for exa on Apple Silicon. Is it possible for the Cargo.lock file to be updated? If this could be done with a new release, that would be especially helpful.

I guess eventually for exa we will also need a working ghc but it would be great to get this fixed when the fix is so simple...

[carlocab]

As long as you don't do brew install --HEAD exa then you don't need ghc. The pandoc dependency is only needed for HEAD installs.

@carlocab yep, but eventually HEAD will be the release version :)

That's true, but we can probably make do in the meantime with not building the manpages. That's really all that's pandoc is used for. Or, alternatively, find some other ARM-compatible way of building the manpages. I only used pandoc because it was the simplest solution at the time I was fixing the formula.

Could someone pls make a release with an update? Would be great to see this in brew again for ARM macs.
