Comment (by herbygillot):

 Replying to [comment:4 ryandesign]:
 > This is one of those demonstrations of why ports should use distfiles,
 not fetch using git.

 We would have run into this issue regardless.

 `helix`'s build process is running an external build step, which calls an
 external script that downloads a list of grammars defined by a config file
 custom and specific to the project, `languages.toml`.

 Even if this port were using vendored crates, which is how we distfile
 Rust ports, the build process would still fail because the URL in
 `languages.toml` is no longer valid. The fix that @carlocaione is
 referencing corrects that very file.

 This port has been building from Git because earlier versions of it had a
 strong reliance on Git for the build process, especially Git submodules.

 It looks like that's no longer the case now, so I've switched `helix` over
 to building from the source archive, in addition to fixing this issue:
