     ...but the last version of ncdu packaged in #Fedora is 1.16.

     Afterwards, it was rewritten in a new programming language called #zig...

     The zig compiler is packaged in Fedora... so why can't they build ncdu with it and ship it??

     @dwardoric But that's more like df?

     @vinzv I was a Fedora packager >10 years ago... maybe I could get back into it.

     @codewiz Maybe no maintainer had spare time left? In the end it's a community project so here's your chance to contribute. 😉

     The author of ncdf motivates rewriting it in #zig in this blogpost:

     Maybe I should try building it from source and see what it looks like...

     ...and then maybe learn a little more about #zig...

     ...a perfect weekend project!

     @codewiz You could as well then build as rpm and suggest it to Fedora ;)
     (I know, older version exists, makes it more complicated..)

     @globalc Or I could simply beg (bug) the current package owner(s) until they update it :-)
