A small reminder to the maintainers of this package. Keep an eye on, for possible or future canonical git repo changes.

This developer, who makes all these very interesting packages, is called Ali Gholami Rudi and his home page is http://litcave.rudi.ir/

He publishes his work in 2 different git repos, which until now seem to be in sync:

This AUR package is pulling from repo.or.cz. But on his homepage he points the links to github

add:

define TERM "xterm-kitty" or some other

to conf.h to fix compilation error. (thanks to https://www.reddit.com/user/pluuth ) (Upstream source doesn't have this problem, but requires font setting up to work).

Any idea why all I see is a blackscreen when I run fbpad ?

erez: You're right.

bash, mutt and vim are not dependencies of fbpad and are not required by it in any sense, and should not be forced on the user.

make fails with the following message: fbpad.c: In function ‘main’: fbpad.c:337:14: error: ‘FBDEV’ undeclared (first use in this function) if (fb_init(FBDEV)) { ^ fbpad.c:337:14: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in Makefile:7: recipe for target 'fbpad.o' failed make: *** [fbpad.o] Error 1 It seems that the lines defining FBDEV are not present config.h from the sources, and this incomplete config is then copied into the src directory during the prepare stage, overwriting the complete config file from fbpad.git.

To use italic fonts with fbpad, add the following line to the PKGBUILD after line 24: patch -p1 -i "${_gitname}-terminfo.diff" || return 1 where fbpad-terminfo.diff can be found here: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Qcw2M7KC With my vim theme (solarized), I also had to add "export TERM_PROGRAM=fbpad" to my shellrc, and add fbpad to the terms_italic array (line 138 of the colorscheme file).

A "font set" consists of the regular, italic, and bold faces of a font. The latest git revision introduced font sets per terminal; [Mod]-'f i' activates the ith font set in the current term, where i in {0,..,4}. The advantage to this, as opposed to regular fonts, is that switching between fonts also changes the bold and/or italic text to match. Neat, right? With the latest changes, the wiki is now a little outdated, but I can't get to updating it until after my finals. Let me know if issues arise.
