currently working to integrate with arch but requires /usr merge as mentioned here

[rushabh-v]

Thanks, @sarbesh. Please feel free to reach me out for any help. Can we do the /usr merge step in the installation workflow (of arch) itself? (Or I understood it wrong?)

[sarbesh]

We can do it in arch installation but the path /lib/Auth/Facerec is hardcoded into the files, we need to make it relative or pick a path from some config. Moreover, it is highly recommended to store the files and config at /usr/lib Even though /usr/lib is a symlink to /lib. please follow https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/TheCaseForTheUsrMerge/ for more info about /usr merge.

Okay, got it. I am creating two issues. One for putting the Facerec's path in the config file and one for changing the installation path to /usr/lib/... And I will follow up on those issues. Thanks!

I created one combined issue here: https://github.com/rushabh-v/linux_face_unlock/issues/20

[rushabh-v]

https://github.com/rushabh-v/linux_face_unlock/pull/21 has been merged. You may want to merge master into your branch @sarbesh

[rushabh-v]

Any update on this @sarbesh?

There is some user configuration to be made when setting it up, as mentioned in for howdy here. Am trying to remove user side configuration dependency but didn't get any luck as of now. Other than this the base is ready.
