Provide AUR package

[beatgammit]

From what I can tell, this requires nightly due to use of feature flags in wlc. This should be noted in the README. If fireplace doesn't need that feature (can use unsafe-stable), that would be much nicer.

I tried to build a package for the AUR and got tripped up here, so others may have similar problems.

It was documentated in the README https://github.com/Drakulix/fireplace#building the last time I looked :slightly_frowning_face:

fireplace additionally requires #[feature(specialization)], so it cannot work on stable sadly.

Also thanks for trying to build an AUR package. If you should find time to finish it, please send a pull request and add a link to the Installation section, if you want. Otherwise give me a ping and I will do that for you.

Sounds good. If you don't hear back in a week, This looks like a cool project and I hope that I can help in a small way.

This PKGBUILD works for me:

}

prepare() {
  cd "$srcdir/$pkgname"
  rm Cargo.lock

build() {
  cd "$srcdir/$pkgname"
  cargo build --release

  mkdir -p "$pkgdir/usr/bin"
  mv "target/release/fireplace" "$pkgdir/usr/bin"

  mkdir -p "$pkgdir/usr/share/wayland-sessions"
  cp "$srcdir/$pkgname/fireplace.desktop" "$pkgdir/usr/share/wayland-sessions"
}

@terlar Thanks for you comment, but I do not think I will use that just now.

I do plan to release an AUR package once fireplace made the transition over to smithay as it's foundation library. At this point it should work much better and newer feature will be far easier to develop.
