Description

Yes, this is kind of a duplicate (#24038, #20496, #13649, #1702, #34522, #13583, #1577)... BUT... with some important differences, ly has been rewritten and now uses zig and have a v1.x.x release.

I've managed to build it myself for x86_64 (glibc) but I do not have the possibility to build and test it for other architectures.

Does the requested package meet the package requirements?

Compiled, System

Is the requested package released?

Yes
