Bug: subprojects/wlroots points to a non existent blob. It's causing error in hyprpm update command

Hyprland Version

The link subprojects/wlroots in this repository doesn't point to any existing blob. I paste the link in the browser and get the following:

✖ Headers missing. Please run hyprpm update to fix those.

The error clearly says subprojects/wlroots/build/include directory doesn't exist. That is because the link subprojects/wlroots in this repository is pointing to a blob that doesn't exist

Please do correct this issue. Operating system used: Arch Linux, but it should cause the same error in other distributions too.

How to reproduce

Command to reproduce error

The problem was that meson wasn't installed. After installing meson, and trying hyprpm update again, the error was solved. subprojects/wlroots is still an invalid link. Why does it still work? Please answer if someone knows

[vaxerski]

it's not an invalid link, it's just a repo hosted on gitlab and as such github won't automatically make a link to it
