[Slackbuilds-users] Current buf and dart-sdk scripts prevent dart-sass from building from source

[Willy Sudiarto Raharjo]

> It's been two weeks since I contacted Ebben Aries and Zhu Qun-Ying, maintainers of development/buf and development/dart-sdk respectively. Neither of them responded, so I'm raising my issue here in hopes they would see it as they both seem relatively active on SBo.

> I'm switching the script for development/dart-sass from repackaging pre-built binaries to building from source as the upstream no longer provides 32 bit binaries. Dart-sass only has 2 dependencies, buf and dart-sdk, both of which are available on SBo. But neither of them work for me as is.

Luckily, there doesn't seem to be any need in any script modifications here, as supplying a tarball with version 3.7.3 (the last one to still provide 32 bit binaries) builds a working package with no visible errors, so only a version bump is required. Dart-sdk doesn't currently have any dependees, so updating it shouldn't break anything.

Both are active, but i'm not sure if Ebben read email. I sent a couple 
of emails in the past and didn't get any response as well.

As for Zhu Qun-Ying, he is also active in github, so you can raise an 
issue in github and mention him
