@RogerDuran/@dequis: Please have a look at the Arch package guidelines (specifically the package etiquette):
$srcdir and $pkgdir have to be quotedmsg): use printf or echo instead (or remove altogether, as install -v is sufficiently verbose)Please also update the relevant depends, makedepends, checkdepends and optdepends (see community/qtile for further info).
Thanks!
In addition to python-dbus-next, python-xcffib is now an optional dependency (for X11 backend), as are python-xkbcommon, pywayland and pywroots (for Wayland backend).
Qtile now has python-dbus-next as an optional dependency for interaction with dbus (replacing python-dbus).
The Memory widget requires the psutil python module (or the python-psutil community package). Could this be added as a dependency?
Can we update this to use python3 instead of python2? Python2 is dead and there's no reason to not use python3 here since qtile fully supports it.

Re: The tests take a very long time to run.
When I adopted this package, checks were disabled. Upon enabling them, I saw a large number of failures. Leaving the checks enabled will prevent problems from going unnoticed.
Users who rebuild frequently may not need to run checks after every build. They may opt for one of the following:
--nocheckoption tomakepkgto skip the tests.makepkgto disable checks by default.BUILDENVarray in/etc/makepkg.conf.--checkoption.
