Arch Linux User Repository

Thanks! The sudo thing was always a terrible hack, but it's great to know someone derives value from it still!

Thank you for maintaining paramano @phillid.

I was recently able to switch back to Arch as my primary desktop (I was forced to use Windows for awhile because of some pro-audio problems running essential closed source programs under KVM), and the only problem remaining was the ability to quickly change scaling governors for Linux audio applications.

I'd always used paramano in the past, but couldn't get it to build at the time, even with patches, and gave up. But I just tried again with your package and it's working perfectly. And with the customary alterations to run it via sudo I can change settings on the fly once again and have the best of all pro audio worlds!

I just wanted you to know that your work is needed and appreciated :)

Thanks. I tagged current master upstream as 0.72 and bumped this package to point to it

The git master branch contains the needed fixes for the previously mentioned failure. That version builds without any issue.

I suggest to update this package to that version. It is sometimes necessary and even Arch repo maintainers occasionally choose to update stable (non-VCS-following) packages to an untagged commit.

I've created a patch for you if you choose to follow my advice.

Just put the patch temporarily in dir where your PKGBUILD is.

Then run git apply 0001-update-to-latest-git-commit-to-fix-build.patch in that dir. (Then delete the patch file.)

Note; this does not make your package a VCS package, as I've harcoded the commit that is latest at this moment. In line with how Arch maintainers do similar updates.

Paramano build fails because of config bug, it still expects gtk2:

@davidmc971 Thanks for the heads up! Looks like something changed since Jan 2017 when the last version bump happened. I've added a patch to the build to solve this, so the build should be fine now

Hello there, great application. Only problem I had was an error about hb.h when compiling, fixed it by adding

-I/usr/include/harfbuzz

to CFLGAS in config.mk and manually running "make all" in the source directory.
