@procobain, thanks for the suggestions. The issue with square theme not compiling correctly should be brought up with the maintainer: https://github.com/vinceliuice/Qogir-theme/issues as we are simply using his install script for the installation.
I like the idea of splitting this package, seeing as one usually uses one theme at a time. I can't commit to maintaining those, but feel free to take on the challenge if you want.
There was a change that is no longer creating the theme with square corners, only round ones. During installation, simply edit pkgbuild and delete the word "round" on the 40th line.
This theme takes up ~33MB, perhaps too big to compile the square and round themes together. Wouldn't it be worth creating two separate packages? qogir-gtk-theme-square qogir-gtk-theme-round
@killermoehre: As long as the proper dependencies are installed (which this PKGBUILD ensures), pacman will never be called. If upstream isn't going to change it, then it could be patched out.
@killermoehre absolutely we can talk about that. I was also perusing the script after the last update and I feel it can really be improved with some modularization. Someone had opened an issue that suggested using a makefile to improve packaging for other distros, but the author basically said they have no experience with makefiles.
I honestly don't see makefile as a viable solution, but that script needs some drastic changes.
Hi,
can we talk about how the install.sh itself is calling various package manager to install self-build packages?
Can this package be split up in the different versions, or at least manipulated in such a way that no package manager is called during package()?
@yochananmarqos done. Thanks for the reference, I didn't know that was a common pattern with theme packages
@FirstAirBender: The Arch community theme packages do not declare gtk3 at all. See the pop-gtk-theme PKGBUILD for an example
@yochananmarqos upon further thought, maybe not having gtk3 as a dependency isn't such a bad idea. It doesn't look right, but the installer for this theme doesn't seem to care what version of gtk you have as it installs themes for every one of them (including gtk4), so maybe we shouldn't be as strict either.
Let me know what you think, thanks.
@yochananmarqos I don't like that solution, but in the interest of avoiding duplicating the same package just because of dependencies, I will revert the changes, and just make the gtk2 dependencies optional.
It's unfortunate that current aur helpers do not have the capability to just build and package a single package of split packages.
@FirstAirBender: Just don't declare gtk3 as a dependency at all.

I'm using
pacman, and upgrade withsudo pacman -Syyu. I did as you suggested, removed the cache entry. I usedpamacto remove and install. Then, all worked well.Thanks for the help!
