Arch Linux packaging about uchroma

[z3ntu]

Also https://github.com/cyanogen/uchroma/blob/master/Makefile#L2 should be PYTHONDIR?=$(shell python3 -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print(get_python_lib())") as the current solution can break on some specific distributions (such as on some openSUSE versions)

[hyperb1iss]

List looks OK. Be sure to enable the user service.

[z3ntu]

Should be finished: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/uchroma/ . I don't enable the service automatically but print a message on how to do it because it's the preferred way on Arch afaik.

@z3ntu : Looks like this installs python2-* deps also? I dont see it as a requirement in your build though, but here are some logs:

Also it fails, full logs here : https://gist.github.com/jramapuram/9b01e9d96b19a4c0f96efcdf69f781fd

1. What AUR helper are you using?
2. I know that python-locket fails to build but 1. that's not my package and 2. I flagged it out-of-date today because I noticed the problem. Building it with --nocheck (makepkg flag) should let you skip the check.

[jramapuram]

1. Running Manjaro, so it should be pamac which is backed by yaourt
2. I'll try it with the flag

[z3ntu]

yaourt probably installs all packages from a split package. Nothing I or anyone except the yaourt people can change. I use pacaur and it works fine there. (also the behaviour isn't related to the PKGBUILD at all)

[z3ntu]

@cyanogen Can you add a note how to install on Arch Linux to the readme? Then this issue can be closed 👍

[jramapuram]

@z3ntu : on a slightly different note, are you running python 3.6 ? I can't seem to get uchroma to startup due to some singleton issue as described #13

[hyperb1iss]

Try the 1.0.1 release.

[hyperb1iss]

@z3ntu I'm not an Arch guy at all, what should the instructions look like?

[z3ntu]

Most people use "AUR Helpers" which is an application that automates the installation from "AUR" (custom packages from the community where no binary form is available) packages but unfortunately there is a wide range of different applications to do basically the same job.
But I think linking to https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/uchroma/ is enough for Arch users to understand what they have to do.
