feroxbuster out of date since 2 years, weird commits ref

[pierrelegall]

Hello Blackarchers!

I see the feroxbuster package last version in the BlackArch repository is 2.7.1.r11.g53e3420-1.

❯ pacman -Ss feroxbuster
blackarch/feroxbuster 2.7.1.r11.g53e3420-1 (blackarch blackarch-webapp blackarch-scanner blackarch-fuzzer)
    A fast, simple, recursive content discovery tool written in Rust.

Two questions:

• Is it reasonable for feroxbuster to be out dated since 2 years?

~/Code/feroxbuster tags/2.7.1
❯ git log -n 1 --date=short
commit f51993c (HEAD, tag: 2.7.1)
Merge: 4926651 9093ffb
Author: epi <43392618+epi052@users.noreply.github.com>
Date:   2022-05-12

    Merge pull request #575 from epi052/all-contributors/add-postmodern
    
    docs: add postmodern as a contributor for ideas

• I can't found the g53e3420 commit on the official feroxbuster repository, why?

~/Code/feroxbuster tags/2.7.1
❯ git log g53e3420
fatal: ambiguous argument 'g53e3420': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.

The commit ref follows the guidelines with version tags. The actual git reference is 53e3420.

Nevertheless you are right, the feroxbuster package seems to have a build issue that have not been reported so far.
The PKGBUILD is on 2.10.4 but it hasn't been build since August 2022.

Thanks for reporting

Oups, I copy-pasted the disturbing "g" in from of the commit ref ;p

Since it's definitely an issue, let's continue there: #4163
