Unable to utilize hyprNStack after update

[TyrHeimdalEVE]

I'm experiencing some strange behavior, where after a 2 week vacation, I came home and did an upgrade of packages. All was good.

Then I decided to run hyprpm update and after that, hyprNStack will just not function anymore.

I've tried removing it and backstepping to an older git revision to no avail.

Any advice on what could be causing it or debugging steps that might show why...?

Of course right after writing this, I came to the conclusion that it was related to hyprWorkspaceLayouts which I should have picked up on.

It seems hyprpm is silently failing to build it. Will open a separate ticket in the respective repo.

Leaving this open as it might help others, and you can decide to close it whenever.

Thanks a lot for making hyprNStack, it's a godsent for super ultrawide on Hyprland!
