neohtop: init at 1.0.8

[andreaskrath]

NeoHtop is a new cross-platform desktop application for system monitoring.

It was released recently and has already gotten quite a bit of attention, including requests for it to be packaged.

Close #354007

I have pretty much just followed the approach of Hoppscotch, as they are both Tauri applications and they should function similarly.

I would also appreciate feedback on darwin, as I have no way to test that myself.

This is my first time contributing, so I appreciate any and all feedback.

Was an oversight on my part, done now.

If possible, I think it would be better if it's built from source via cargo-tauri.hook — repacking binary artifacts from upstream should only be used for closed-source packages or as a last resort (e.g. exceedingly complicated compilation/circular dependencies/bootstrapping issues)

Been messing around with it for a couple of hours now and I don't think I can progress further or build it from source as is (although this is likely a skill issue).

NeoHtop is a tauri v2 application, but cargo-tauri for the time being is still in v1 (waiting on #346277).

I have tried overwriting the version of tauri in cargo-tauri similar to this but I have been unsuccessful and get some errors from the tauri derivation that I do not know how to get around.

So unless someone else wants to take a crack at it, I will probably not be able to progress further till cargo-tauri is updated to v2.

Should I move my PR to a draft for the time being?

I think you can just base your PR on the tauri v2 PR and not merge until that one is merged

I am closing the PR.
I have tried to the best of my ability to package this, but I cannot get it to work.

From my understanding as of tauri v2, tauri is affected by a bug in cargo in relation to weak dependencies (I do not think this is unique to neohtop, rather this affects all tauri v2 projects).

This means that hyper-tls cannot be found in the vendored dependencies (because it is an optional dependency) and is therefore not added correctly.

The fix to this is to copy what has been done with surrealist, which involves patching Cargo.toml and Cargo.lock to correctly include the hyper-tls dependency. But I cannot get this approach to work, and I cannot be bothered wasting more of my time trying to get this to work.
