AUR Package

[rhysperry111]

Hi, I am looking into creating an AUR package for this. Would that be ok in it's current state of development, or would you want me to wait until it is stable?

Is libhandy-1/gee-0.8 the same as libhandy/gee? Do they need specific versions? Also, which deps are runtime and which deps are build?

Hi! Thanks for showing interest in my little project :) I wanted to create an AUR package when the project was finished, or at least in a version that would be useful for someone, since currently it is only an empty window hehe :sweat_smile:

If you want to create it, do it :D Just post a notice that it is currently in a very early stage of development and therefore many features may be missing (such as being able to even see a grid of videos)

Is libhandy-1/gee-0.8 the same as libhandy/gee?

gee-0.8 yes, it is the libgee found in Arch repos, but libhandy-1 is not the one found in repos. libhandy-1 is a version that has not yet come out, so you should use libhandy-git.

I'm using pkg-config names for the deps since I think that are more "distro agnostic" than package names. On Arch you can use pacman -Fy gee-0.8.pc in order to know which package to use

Also, you will need to take a look at UTLib since I'm gonna use that library as the core of this project.

Also, which deps are runtime and which deps are build?

meson is the build system => Build dep vala is the compiler => Build dep sassc is the compiler for sass files => Build dep

The rest are shared libraries, so they're runtime deps

Ah, I forgot, it is very possible that I will soon change the name of the project to one more consistent with the names used for GNOME apps, since the current one is inherited from a time when the project was intended to be a UWP app for Windows 10

If you have ideas for a name idea that fits with this article, tell me :D
