b2ff1f09f9 docs: Remove old todo
This repository is now cloned as part of install.sh. It is up to the
user whether or not they want to run bootstrap.sh on first boot.

d812ff86aa misc: Update docs
Changing between desktop environments is no longer a feature since
it's easier and more convenient to use only one environment, although
it's still certainly possible for the determined user.

26a074eeb4 archlinux: Install rust toolchain during bootstrap.sh
This is necessary during the bootstrap step since the shotgun
PKGBUILD assumes that a rust toolchain is installed.

044d919bba archlinux: Clone this repository as the proper user
This fixes an issue where root would own all the files in the user's
~/.files directory, preventing the user from doing anything useful.

c552c3b633 archlinux: Fix make refresh-keys target
The bootstrap script was trying to call refresh-keys when the make
target was named update-keys. Since the flag is called --refresh-keys,
it makes sense to call the make target refresh-keys as well.

ebb3663105 archlinux: Remove --now flag from lxdm.service
We don't want to start lxdm during the bootstrap process.

ce8a2e54c7 meta: Update Arch Linux bootstrap process
Fixed some things which should make the entire process a bit
more fluent.

bb5b168ca5 archlinux: Add make gnome target
Here are some good default GNOME settings for when you want to boot
into the gnome shell instead of bspwm.

7825eed62f archlinux: Enable the lxdm service
Note that we enable lxdm before revoking privileges. The user can
start lxdm manually after this script is finished, but ideally the
system should first be rebooted to ensure that any kernel updates
are applied properly.

d4475bbf3a archlinux: Add shantz-xwinwrap-bzr
This makes it possible to draw mpv on your desktop. In other words, it
lets you use animated backgrounds with any format mpv supports.

e7f00aa7f8 archlinux: Run xdg-user-dirs-update during bootstrap.sh
Note that the directories generated can be changed with
user-dirs.dirs, and should respect the user's locale.

1324f4099a archlinux: Remove bspwm-round-corners-git from bootstrap.sh
It turns out that manual intervention is necessary to resolve dependency
conflicts (bspwm-round-corners-git replaces bspwm), so it is easier to
simply install bspwm-round-corners-git later if wanted.

429a56d480 archlinux: Refresh keys before installing packages
This fixes an issue where some packages cannot be verified if
they use new keys.

49c0091f1b archlinux: Use yay to install AUR packages
It turns out that yay automatically handles the process of installing
package dependencies not in the official repositories. This is very
important for some PKGBUILDs, so I've gone ahead and let yay handle
all the AUR packages I build.

cdad1fe3bf archlinux: Remove dependency step from bootstrap.sh
Any dependencies that need to be installed will be done so from
tari-core.
2018-12-09 23:44:49 -05:00
8ac1e0f765 archlinux: Add make rust target
Since rustup is just the installer, we have to use it to
install rust.

c93c4dc60f tari-core: Add missing packages
Note that plasma-integration is used for KDE theme support without
installing the entire plasma-desktop. The breeze_cursors theme is
included in the breeze package, and xorg-xsetroot is used to change
the default X shaped cursor to a pointer.

6ca65d02eb meta: Remove unused packages
Since I figured out how to run both KDE and GTK applications with
their proper settings under any lightweight window manager, and since
I now know how to configure these programs independent of their desktop
environments, this commit removes plasma-desktop, with the possibility
of gnome-shell bring removed in a future commit as well.

The rationale is that using a desktop environment is counter-intuitive
when you already use a window manager. Having multiple desktop environments
to start a session with is certainly amusing, but not at all practical,
especially when you can accomplish anything that needs to be done with
any window manager.

Switching between GNOME, Plasma, and bspwm also caused some inconsistent
X settings that I assume are non-trivial to fix without a proper restart
of the X server.

Simply starting the Plasma desktop environment will create quite a few
files in ~/.config. These files consist of window coordinates and other
non-friendly things, which, IMO, should not belong in the *user's* config
directory.

Regarding other software, GNOME MPV is arguably easier to use and less
buggy than baka-mplayer. Manipulating archives is also much easier with
file-roller than it is with ark. Since I got Audacity to look decent on a
HiDPI display, I no longer have a use for Kwave, which did not have some
of the essential features I used in Audacity anyway.

l3afpad functions much more like a notepad than kwrite, which is what
I'm looking for since I already use Vim. Using Cantata as a mpd client
is simply not the same as using ncmpcpp. zathura and evince are more
than enough for document viewing, hence the removal of Okular.

f649795900 tari-core: Use one line per package
This makes it easy to remove unwanted packages as needed. It also
improves git diffs, since the line with the closing parenthesis
is not changed.
2018-12-09 19:24:56 -05:00
948359bdef archlinux: Add bootstrap.sh
This *should* work, although I haven't tested it yet.

6a81d13297 meta: Add bspwm-round-corners-git PKGBUILD
This is the PKGBUILD I made for a [nice patch][1] that adds border
radius support to bspwm. The patch has not been merged upstream yet,
so this PKGBUILD will have to do in the meantime.

9ff3bfa22f PKGBUILDs: Merge tari-web with tari-core
Since anyone using Tari will probably want the web browsers too,
this change makes sense.

Since all of Tari is now in one PKGBUILD, it is easy to see everything
that will be installed, and it becomes trivial to add or remove packages
as needed.

eff526497b meta: Don't install firefox extensions globally
Updating firefox extensions manually is not ideal. Additionally,
this method is non-trivial to apply if the target system does not
use pacman as the package manager.
2018-12-08 11:26:13 -05:00
05a824ae69 PKGBUILDs: Rename tari-scripts to color-scripts
Since color scripts can be used independently of Tari
(the meta package), this change makes sense.
2018-12-08 11:07:01 -05:00
97a5a84d82 archlinux: Fix make clean target
Since this target was moved up one directory, its relative paths
need to be updated as well.
2018-12-08 10:39:42 -05:00
39144c4ca0 PKGBUILDs: Rename tari-util-xeventbind to xeventbind
Since Tari will work as an independent PKGBUILD now, and since
xeventbind is an individual program not related to Tari, it makes
sense to remove the associated prefix.
2018-12-08 02:04:08 -05:00
f94d4af3db PKGBUILDs: Merge tari-plasma and tari-gnome with tari-core
Since I don't have to worry about the completeness of individual desktop
environments, this makes it easier for me to tailor the tools I use to
my use cases.
2018-12-08 01:21:50 -05:00
18972fdb81 PKGBUILDs: Merge tari-desktop with tari-core
Since the collective system is known as Tari, having individual parts
for the pieces that work together to make the whole is not ideal.

Now that I understand more about how Arch Linux works, if I ever needed
to create a non-Tari operating system, I would just use pacman to install
packages as needed, or modify this PKGBUILD to create a new meta package
specific to that system.
2018-12-08 00:48:00 -05:00
53f3ef09f4 PKGBUILDs: Merge tari-dev with tari-core
Not all of these packages may be useful to everyone, and that's fine.
Any list I create won't satisfy everyone, but reducing the number of
PKGBUILDs makes it easier to see and change all the packages installed
on the system as a whole.

Due to the nature of how Arch Linux works, most users won't even need my
PKGBUILDs. With the exception of setting up X with a bare-minimum window
manager, installing and configuring most software is as simple as using
pacman to install that software and symlinking any config files you want
to their relevant directories, if any.

57177600c6 meta: Remove fish completions for httpie
There is an open bug that should be resolved before or during the
Arch Linux Bug Day coming up next month (January 2019). Either way,
manually updating the httpie version becomes impractical after some
time; it's best to apply this fix upstream instead.
2018-12-07 17:38:44 -05:00
e627c60540 meta: Don't install vim plug globally
Since my .vimrc already installs the same version of vim plug,
and since any user can symlink my dotfiles, using a PKGBUILD to
install it is redundant and arguably less portable.
2018-12-07 17:29:48 -05:00
5fa02b42be PKGBUILDs: Merge tari-bspwm with tari-desktop
As ironic as this may sound, less user choice means that there's less
room for error. Plus, it makes things conveniently easier for me and
possibly every other user of the software.
2018-12-07 16:53:45 -05:00
ba704bab08 PKGBUILDs: Merge tari-cli with tari-core
Realistically, if I'm installing the tari packages, I more often than
not want everything with it. If I am aiming for a minimalist setup
without X11 or Wayland, I will probably not use the tari packages
anyway.
2018-12-07 16:15:54 -05:00
3d9a699812 archlinux: Add make yarnconfig target
Since ~/.yarnrc is an autogenerated file, we configure it through
the Makefile instead.

9ddd20f348 archlinux: Add make fontconfig target
fontconfig is used to maximize the visual appearance of fonts.

15047e15e6 archlinux: Add make aur target
This is a very simple AUR helper.

Usage: make aur package=<package>

1a0304003f docs: Simplify process of using install scripts
Now that install.sh downloads the other scripts if they are not present,
fetching this entire repository is no longer necessary.
2018-12-06 18:32:07 -05:00
0be668443e archlinux: Clone this repository to the user's $HOME
This makes it easier to immediately start using dotfiles and other
config settings on first boot. It may even be useful to add an option
to run the entire bootstrap script in the installation media. Note that
if this route is taken, some assumptions regarding installation will
have to be changed to adjust for the chroot environment.

f320b0c294 archlinux: Add single install script support
This commit makes it so that downloading the entire repository to run
the install scripts is no longer necessary.

It assumes that you have an active internet connection, which should be
a given since you need an internet connection to run pacstrap anyway.
2018-12-06 17:39:59 -05:00
7732bc7c52 docs: Update install-scripts README
In the near future the install scripts should be usable with
a single and simple command.

082ff6bb12 meta: Refactor install scripts
Lots of changes here with the goal of streamlining the installation
process. The install scripts work very well now, although there are
still some final changes that I would like to make (notably the removal
of the unzip requirement and the inclusion of more options to automate
the process even further).

8c97022151 archlinux: Add rng-tools to initial package list
Note that Arch Linux packages a newer version of rng-tools that is
currently maintained and built upon the original upstream.
2018-12-04 01:56:31 -05:00
818d8a7df3 archlinux: Add polkit to initial package list
The polkit package is used to let unprivileged users run certain
commands. With it, it is possible to run system commands such as
`poweroff` and `reboot` with an unprivileged user.

Traditionally, only privileged users have access to power management,
but for many desktop setups, you may want to let unprivileged users
perform operations such as shutdown the machine if no other users
are logged in.

da138458b7 docs: Add README for xeventbind
It turns out that the README for the xeventbind PKGBUILD actually works
very well here. On another note, I've yet to figure out how exactly I
want to document PKGBUILDs.

dc261e58ad archlinux: Lock the root account
No need to log in to the root account since we already configured
a user with sudo rights.
2018-12-03 21:45:47 -05:00
8d41afb5f7 archlinux: Swap user@host placeholder positions
It's actually more intuitive for the user to "fill in the blank" than
it is for the user to see future steps as blank lines.

6cfcc4cca9 archlinux: Use sudoers.d instead of editing sudoers directly
Note that file names containing '.' or '~' are skipped.

b55f9b7fce archlinux: Add fr_FR and ja_JP locales
Because sometimes you want to use a non-English language.
