Packaging Guidance Request for v1.x

Question

I'm working on packaging OpenCode for Nixpkgs and would appreciate some guidance on how to build v1.x.

I noticed that v1.0 introduced a major architecture change - moving from the Go+bubbletea TUI to OpenTUI (Zig+SolidJS). Looking at the AUR opencode PKGBUILD, it still tries to build the old Go-based TUI that no longer exists in v1.x:

cd packages/tui
CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -ldflags="-s -w -X main.Version=${pkgver}" -o tui cmd/opencode/main.go

Question:

What's the correct build process for v1.x for a single architecture?

I see packages/opencode/scripts/build.ts in the repo, but it appears to build for all architectures. For Nixpkgs, I only need to build for one architecture at a time. Additionally, it looks like build.ts does some custom fetching and adding of opentui packages to the node_modules directory, which probably won't work in the Nix build sandbox.

Is there a simpler build command I can use, or documentation on the manual build steps?

Note: For the time being opencode is packaged with the pre-built binaries.

I tried using opencode on nixos from nixpkgs/master branch and it fails like this. as if the bun run or whatever entry point command is failing.

so I assume I can't run the pre-built binaries for some reason...

yeah it looks like the bun command is not running properly. this is the version of bun instead of opencode

> opencode --version
1.3.0

Yes, I'm aware of this issue. Probably due to autoPatchelfHook. I missed this because I'm on aarch64-darwin. See NixOS/nixpkgs#457565 (comment). Tomorrow I'll have access to a Linux machine and will test if removing autoPatchelfHook fixes the issue.

@nicoburniske I opened a PR which can be merged, as soon as someone tested it on Linux -> NixOS/nixpkgs#457816

i haven't yet updated the aur script for opencode package. if you look at script/build.ts this is currently how we build it

I'm not a Typescript dev, so I'm struggling to understand what needs to happen from looking at script/build.ts. If the intention is to update the AUR script, I'm happy to wait - PKGBUILD scripts are much easier for me to work with.

I saw that you adapted the AUR script and I now have a working build - thanks 🙌 .

A minor detail I currently solve with a patch: It would be nice to be able to split fetching and packing the @opentui/core and @parcel/watcher modules from the actual building - maybe something that could be added to the build script.
