[Support] Malformed protocol detected: (:host github :repo \"...")

[wakatara]

What's wrong

When I try to grab xeft from sourcehut I am getting a malformed protocol detected error. This was working fine previously, but I just nuked my straight directory and recompiled everything when moving between diff emacsen. Strangely, this worked quite fine last week.

Directions to reproduce

(straight-use-package
 '(xeft :repo "https://git.sr.ht/~casouri/xeft"
        :files  (:defaults "*.h" "Makefile" "xapian-lite.cc")))

Yields the following error report:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Malformed protocol detected: (:host github :repo \"...")
  signal(error ("Malformed protocol detected: (:host github :repo \"..."))
  error("Malformed protocol detected: (:host %S :repo %S)" github "https://git.sr.ht/~casouri/xeft")

Latest version of straight.el as I just rebuilt everything from scratch a few minutes ago.

Version information

• Emacs version: 29.0.60.

Your recipe is inherting the :host keyword from the gnu-elpa-mirror for xeft. Adding :host nil or :inherit nil should bypass the inheritance.

Test Case

```emacs-lisp (straight-bug-report :post-bootstrap (condition-case nil (straight-use-package '(xeft :repo "https://git.sr.ht/~casouri/xeft" :inherit nil :files (:defaults "*.h" "Makefile" "xapian-lite.cc"))) (error (message "recipe source: %S" (straight-recipe-source "xeft"))))) ```

Worked like a charm. Thank you !!! I was unaware of that switch in that case.
