Thanks! That definitely seems like a bug in Corrosion.

@jschleus mentioned that just removing the offending line, pointing to taskchampion/integration-tests, from Cargo.toml fixed the issue, so perhaps that's a good workaround. I'm not sure how to actually solve the issue.

[djmitche]

It looks like the fix to this is to just edit the Cargo.toml during the release process. I'll make a note of this in the release instructions, so the next patch release will hopefully work better!

[djmitche]

I suspect #3209 is the long-term fix here, by the way.

After following @djmitche instructions (removing line 7 of file task-3.0.0/Cargo.toml)
And creating a "/build" folder outside of task-3.0.0.
I was successfully able to run:
cmake -S task-3.0.0 -B build
and then finally:
cd build/ & make install

Although this is not a solution to the problem, it is the first instance of instructions for building from source which have worked for me. Hopefully it helps someone.

What error did you get without creating build/? It was OK for me:

✖ sofia ~/tmp
⸩ rm -rf build
✖ sofia ~/tmp
⸩ vi task-3.0.0/Cargo.toml 
✖ sofia ~/tmp
⸩ cmake -S task-3.0.0 -B build

I've confirmed that the manual step in releasing.md results in a build-able tarball.

@Theblackcat98 if you can reproduce the requirement to create the build directory, please open a new issue.
