The helper team has been discussing some common issues we see with
Discussion submissions (missing info, duplicates, etc.), and pluie's
#6937 has been a huge step forward - this PR introduces a template for
the Issue Triage Discussion type.
The template has gone through a few revisions prior to this PR, but I am
certain there are probably a few places to be cleaned up. You can test
it out by [opening a new "Issue Triage" Discussion in my
fork](https://github.com/taylrfnt/ghostty/discussions/new?category=issue-triage).
~~Creating this as a draft for now, since I may not be able to respond
to any review comments in a timely manner.~~
This introduces the concept of a "dist resource" (specifically a
`GhosttyDist.Resource` type). This is a resource that may be present in
dist tarballs but not in the source tree. If the resource is present and
we're not in a Git checkout, then we use it directly instead of
generating it.
This is used for the first time in this commit for the gresource c/h
files, which depend on a variety of external tools (blueprint-compiler,
glib-compile-resources, etc.) that we do not want to require downstream
users/packagers to have and we also do not want to worry about them
having the right versions.
This also adds a check for `distcheck` to ensure our distribution
contains all the expected files.
This adds a CI test to ensure that all Zig files are properly formatted.
This avoids unrelated diff noise in future PRs.
This also runs `zig fmt` once to clean up all formatting issues for
future PRs.
I also introduced a new `xsm` (extra small) runner profile to use less
resources for our tiny tasks.
1. Refactored Nix devshell/package to make it easier to keep
LD_LIBRARY_PATH & buildInputs in sync (plus make it easier to re-use in
other Nix environment).
2. Added a CI job to ensure that Blueprints are formatted correctly and
that they will compile using `blueprint-compiler` 0.16.0.
3. Reformatted all Blueprints with `blueprint-compiler format`.

This moves the source tarball creation process into the Zig build system
and follows the autotools-standard naming conventions of `dist` and
`distcheck`.
The `dist` target creates a source tarball in the `PREFIX/dist`
directory. The tarball is named `ghostty-VERSION.tar.gz` as expected by
standard source tarball conventions.
The `distcheck` target does the same as `dist`, but also takes the
resulting tarball, extracts it, and runs tests on the extracted source
to verify the source tarball works as expected.
This commit also updates CI:
1. Tagged releases now use the new `zig build distcheck` command.
2. Tip releases now use the new `zig build dist` command.
3. A new test build tests that source tarball generation works on
every commit.
Upstream is now mostly pure Zig and the build.zig.zon.* files are
generated directly by zon2nix. The JSON file is no longer used as an
intermediate file but is retained for downstream packager usage.
This allows `termio.Exec` to track processes spawned via
`FlatpakHostCommand`, finally allowing Ghostty to function as a
Flatpak.
Alongside this is a few bug fixes:
* Don't add ghostty to PATH when running in flatpak mode since it's
unreachable.
* Correctly handle exit status returned by Flatpak. Previously this was
not processed and contains extra status bits.
* Use correct type for PID returned by Flatpak.
Closes#6702
This removes our mach-glfw dependency and replaces it with an in-tree
pkg/glfw that includes both the source for compiling glfw as well as the
Zig bindings. This matches the pattern from our other packages.
This is based on the upstream mach-glfw work and therefore includes the
original license and copyright information.
The reasoning is stated in the issue but to summarize for the commit:
- mach-glfw is no longer maintained, so we have to take ownership
- mach-glfw depended on some large blobs of header files to enable
cross-compilation but this isn't something we actually care about,
so we can (and do) drop the blobs
- mach-glfw blobs were hosted on mach hosts. given mach-glfw is
unmaintained, we can't rely on this hosting
- mach-glfw relied on a "glfw" package which was owned by another
person to be Zig 0.14 compatible, but we no longer need to rely on
this
- mach-glfw builds were outdated based on latest Zig practices
`std.debug.assert(x)` _is not_ the same as `if (!x) unreachable`
because the function call is not `inline`. Since it's not inline the
Zig compiler will try to compile any code that might otherwise be
unreachable.
Also, added a CI test that compiles Ghostty in a Debian 12 container to
ensure that regressions do not happen.
