Build errors on Zig master

[sonro]

This is due to the zig-clap dependency. If you want to support the master Zig branch, zig-clap will need to be bumped. I checked and init still builds on v0.13.0.

I tried updating to latest zig-clap, but it's not compatible with the tagged zig 0.13.0.

I'd like to support both: the latest tagged version and master branch.

Not sure what is the best way to approach this

I might tag current version as 0.13.0 compatible and then keep the init/main compatible with zig/master

That sounds reasonable, however you would have to check it still builds every day when Zig master changes. Plus you'll have to watch zig-clap for any breaking changes.

That can be automated of course but might not be worth the effort to set up.

The alternative is just documenting that init is only compatible with 0.13.0. Then updating it with the next tagged Zig.
