If I have time (“ha ha ha ha”; I’m also doing this all via ssh from my phone) I’d like to see about making a Pkgsrc WIP package for this (since it’s quite a change from v2 it makes more sense to stick it in WIP rather than just upgrade the existing Pkgsrc package). On that note, I wonder if it’ll have to be split out into taskchampion and taskwarrior for Pkgsrc? I.e. so the new Rust taskchampion bit is built first and then the C++ taskwarrior bit includes that?

In the meantime I just built outside of Pkgsrc:

1. Needed a small patch to build:

    diff --git a/CMakeLists.txt b/CMakeLists.txt
    index 25ed4d9eb..a644268ac 100644
    --- a/CMakeLists.txt
    +++ b/CMakeLists.txt

     check_function_exists (timegm  HAVE_TIMEGM)
     check_function_exists (get_current_dir_name HAVE_GET_CURRENT_DIR_NAME)
   

2. Needed this exporting: CARGO_HTTP_CAINFO=/usr/pkg/share/mozilla-rootcerts/cacert.pem
3. And then a cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH_USE_LINK_PATH:BOOL=ON . to keep libuuid linked for the install; I am wondering if libuuid is even needed on NetBSD, probably not, but that can be an exercise for another day.
4. The rest of it is per the INSTALL instructions.

I also updated my patch from ten years ago to fix recurring tasks for DST for v3:

diff --git a/src/recur.cpp b/src/recur.cpp

+  }
   return base + delta;
 }

It seems there maybe future plans to use timezones in tasks which would finally solve this properly so I guess since my approach is still a little hacky it’s not worth PR’ing (the idea didn’t get any traction in the last ten years anyway).

But a lot from October.

• OneDa: Formula OneDa. I was hoping for an album full of Set It Off, but didn’t quite get it. That track remains my favourite.
• Charli XCX: Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat. Mean Girls, which I over-looked on Brat, is heads and shoulders above everything else on here. It’s fantastic.
• Confidence Man: 3AM (LA LA LA). I’d somehow missed the release of Control as a single, but that is great. It would be fantastic live or in a club.
• Martha Hill: Football Heid. Not quite reaching the heights of Grilled Cheese for me. Lizard boy and Football are the ones I like best.
• SPINN: Oh My God… I’m so alone. SPINN remain ridiculously underrated. I Would Call You (But I Never Know What To Say) and Shakshuka are indie bangers.
• Amyl and the Sniffers: Cartoon Darkness. Chewing Gum is the one I like best. Big dreams is chilled but really good. It’s Mine is pure moshpit madness. U Should Not Be Doing That is probably second to Chewing Gum.
• Laura Marling: Patterns in Repeat. Patterns is my clear favourite.
• Two Shell: Two Shell. Gimme it is my favourite which was out earlier in the year.
• Hinds: Viva Hinds. I listened to this when I wasn’t really in the mood for it, but I ended up enjoying it. Boom Boom Back is the obvious standout. And then maybe Stranger next.
• Swim School: Seeing It Now. Another underrated band. Give Me A Reason Why remains awesome since it was released right at the start of the year and should be way more popular than it is.
• Man/Women/Chainsaw: Easy Peasy. One of my favourite band names ever. A bunch of too-cool-for-school youngsters. The Boss could quite easily end up being iconic.
• Housewife: Divorce. An EP, but superb. I Lied had already made it to my Picks of 2024, but I’m probably going to add Life Of The Party too. And maybe the whole EP? There is nothing rubbish on here.
• Fcukers: Baggy $$. Another EP. I’d heard the Confidence Man remix of Bon Bon, but the original is actually really good. That, Homie Don’t Shake and UMPA are the best.
