Arch Linux User Repository

I have uploaded the beta version 96.0.346 to powder-toy-beta and snapshots are, as usual, in powder-toy-snapshot.

@dmitmel It appears this package may have been abandoned. It was flagged out of date over 3 months ago and still haven't been updated. You should request to orphan it so you can adopt it and become the new maintainer.

Hi! I've rewritten the PKGBUILD. This is what I've done:

1. Removed obsolete code
   • NATIVE_OPTIMIZATIONS - SConscrpit works fine if -march=native is present in /etc/makepkg.conf
   • scons options --save-version, --minor-version, --build-number - they're already included in the upstream src/Config.h
2. Added a variable ($_lua) to choose the Lua version.
3. Used as much metafiles from upstream as possible
   • .desktop files were extracted from the installation routine (Client::DoInstallation() in src/client/Client.cpp), although had to be modified a bit so I moved them in the AUR package directory
   • different sizes of application icons are now installed from the upstream
   • also I extract document icons from the .icns file at build time and install them as well
   • misc files like MIME data files and AppStream appdata are installed too
4. Added a wrapper script which runs Powder Toy inside a data directory located at $XDG_DATA_HOME/powder-toy
5. Rewritten the code according to the modern ArchWiki recommendations

Here is the patch:

Also, I'm not sure if I have to post this kind of comment here. Should I send patches to maintainer's email?

Please change "Exec=/usr/bin/powder-toy" to "Exec=powder-toy"

It doesn't allow for wrapper scripts

Hello, please rename the tarball so it doesn't cause conflicts for common source directories. Thank you.

Change PKGBUILD version to 93.3 Change the first MD5 to 16c5751f9b9c7a6283f423365fe73b1a (The-Powder-Toy-93.3.tar.gz)

Do this changes in your PKGBUILD for updating the software

Seems to be an upstream issue; downgrading scons from 3.0.0 to 2.5.1 fixed it. I'll file a bug report upstream. EDIT: it's now fixed upstream.

When building (with pacaur), I get a build failure: -> building powder with options with following extra flags --64bit --sse3 scons: Reading SConscript files ... File "/root/.cache/pacaur/powder-toy/src/The-Powder-Toy-92.0.331/SConstruct", line 12 print "couldn't remove .sconf_temp/" ^ SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'

@Alfred456654 thanks! I have updated the PKGBUILD to the official repo.

Hi! I just noticed that the repo in the PKGBUILD isn't the "official" repo: The one in the PKGBUILD is https://github.com/FacialTurd/The-Powder-Toy. The official one is https://github.com/ThePowderToy/The-Powder-Toy. In the PKGBUILD, it changes several things: - the source URL on line 25; - the name of the archive on lines 29, 39 and 68 (s/mod1-//g); - the md5 sum of the archive on line 73; - the version number: * _sver=92 * _mver=0 * _build=331
