#74370: Building helix asks for Github credentials
-------------------------+-----------------------------
Reporter: jenstroeger | Owner: (none)
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts Future
Component: ports | Version: 2.12.6
Keywords: | Port: helos
-------------------------+-----------------------------
I’m on an Intel Mac running Tahoe and there seem no default binaries
available, thus everything builds locally. And building Helix locally
fails because it asks for Github credentials:
{{{

I’m not too versed with Rust/Cargo but it looks like these lines in the
build log point at a culprit:
