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:

  • Pass the --nocheck option to makepkg to skip the tests.
  • Configure makepkg to disable checks by default.
    • Edit the BUILDENV array in /etc/makepkg.conf.
    • Occasionally use the --check option.

wrong path example config, right path: /usr/share/doc/qtile-python3-git/default_config.py

An even better reference: http://qtile.readthedocs.org/en/latest/manual/install/index.html#dbus-gobject

As we found out in https://github.com/qtile/qtile/pull/658 the latest qtile in git requires "python-dbus" and "python-gobject" as dependencies. I haven't tested it with Python2, but I guess qtile-git requires "python2-dbus" and "python2-gobject" instead.

python-xcffib>=0.1.11

It would be helpful to add git as a makedep.

@RogerDuran: qtile-git is 1942.1739627-1 and python2-xcffib is 0.1.8-0.

@kartoch which version of qtile-git and python2-xcffib are you using? i can't reproduce it with the last of both..

RogerDuran commented on 2014-11-03 15:54 (UTC)
