Regarding the latest OOD message

Align with extra/julia, build with blas64-openblas

Currently trying to align with the extra package for easier comparison in the future. Not an easy task. Groundwork will be to be comparable with extra/julia, which means that it will build the release-1.9 branch. If that is working sufficiently one can look into moving back to release-1.10 or even master (1.11).

enable arch=aarch64.

This will have to wait until the alignment with the repo PKGBUILD is done. As MARCH is set in the build process and I'm currently trying to get a working PKGBUILD. One point after another.

And this is another call for everyone that works in or with the Julia ecosystem to help maintain this PKGBUILD. The more the better as this is rather ugly to build it from source on a rolling release distro.

TLDR; Please change optdepends openblas-lapack to blas-openblas.

Please note that Arch announced on June 14 a new blas-openblas repo package.

The earlier AUR package openblas-lapack is the same, therefore it will have to be deleted.

Julia is not simple to compile, the language is nice but build failures are not rare, eg https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/40585

FYI for anyone with this issue, the prebuilt binaries for Linux x86 and aarch64 work fine - available at https://julialang.org/downloads/ and https://julialang.org/downloads/nightlies/

There seems to be a dependency on 7z, as the build is failing with following error for me:

caused by: 7z binary not found

Without the patch below, build+installation fails on my machine because the stringreplace binary was not found.

@fusion809: Every little thing helps. Thank you for your offer :) I will add you as a co-maintainer.

@TrialInError I'd be happy to be a co-maintainer. Although, I will admit, I too have my limits in what I can fix. But I can at least fix the odd little things I know how to fix.
