Donovan Glover 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.		2018-12-07 18:06:19 -05:00

PKGBUILDs

Here are my PKGBUILDs I use on Arch Linux. Each has a specific use case. I use PKGBUILDs to know exactly what I have on my machine, and to make it easier to sync changes across multiple Arch installations.

Of course, you don't have to use any of these packages for your own installation, but if you want to use my setup, you probably want to use the packages I use as well.

Getting Started

There are some core packages that need to be installed before anything else, listed below:

tari-core - Core packages I use for many things
tari-cli - CLI programs that are nice to have
tari-desktop - Packages I use common to all desktop environments

Add-on packages

Now that everything is installed, it's just a matter of choosing a desktop environment or window manager. Note that you can install multiple DEs and WMs at once, then switch between them with your display manager.

tari-gnome - The GNOME desktop environment, with GTK-related software
tari-plasma - The Plasma desktop environment, with Qt and KDE-related software
tari-bspwm - The bspwm window manager, with optional Qt and GTK support (through tari-gnome and tari-plasma)

Other window managers exist, but may not be trivial to use in non-traditional (HiDPI) environments.

Other packages

tari-scripts - Color scripts, purely for aesthetics
tari-util-xeventbind - Useful to change X DPI on resolution change
