new package: helvum

[knyipab]

• rust compiler + meson do not work in cross-compiling (build system: rust compiler for meson? termux/termux-packages#20517)
• the release version of helvum uses pipewire-rs v0.7.2 which runs into compilation error (this action). This compilation error is gone when it is upgraded to pipewire-rs v8.0, so this WIP uses the git version (for now).
• borrow your facility to build aarch64 so that I can test on my device. Thanks!
• this package will be more meaningful once this PR is done: pipewire full features termux/termux-packages#20483

@licy183 It can't download source in aarch64 and arm64 actions for unknown reasons. Any clues?

I see... Thx for explaining, then lemme import that as my github repo. Currently it's WIP anyways.

I have tried to built the package in less complicated way. The build script will build the meson part first then the cargo project. It failed to compile the pipewire crate as you mentioned.

I have asked to release a new version in upstream https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/helvum/-/merge_requests/63 and hope this package can be added in termux-packages repository.
