Expected Behavior

rua install starship correctly installs starship.

Possible Solution

As recommended by https://github.com/vn971/rua/issues/133 the PKGBUILD file should set

RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN=stable cargo build --release ....

Workaround

Run rua install starship untill it fails, then: cd ~/.config/rua/pkg/starship && makepkg -si.

Environment

Starship version: starship 0.46.2
Shell type: zsh
Shell version: zsh 5.8 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
Shell plugin manager: oh-my-zsh
Terminal emulator: ubuntu default
Operating system: arch linux

Thanks for the heads up, and sorry for the late response--my life has been a little crazy recently.

In the unlikely event that users actually do want all their software built with nightly for some reason, I've modified the PKGBUILD with RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN=${RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN:-stable}, which will select the stable chain if RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN is not already defined in the user's environment.

I've made the appropriate changes to the PKGBUILD and pushed them, but I haven't bumped pkgrel because this is a build-system update, so anyone who already has starship installed shouldn't need to do a reinstall. Could you check to see if it works for you?
