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.

I'm on a fresh Arch install trying to set up Qtile. Configuration file I'm using comes from /usr/share/doc/qtile-git/examples/config When I test it with: python2 ~/.config/qtile/config.py I'm getting the following error: Traceback (most recent call last) File "/home/me/.config/qtile/config.py", line 7, in <module> ImportError: cannot import name Key Needless to say I can't even start Qtile. Any idea what may be wrong here?

vchumushuk, try removing python2-cairo and then installing pycairo-xcb-git, ie: pacman -Rdd python2-cairo yaourt -S pycairo-xcb-git -Rdd skip dependency checks

Hi. I have problems with building qtile because of pycairo-xcb-git package conflicts with python2-cairo. And I can't remove python2-cairo because it is in dependency with other important packages. I was trying to build qtile with python2-cairo instead of pycairo-xcb-git, -- it is built. But qtile crashes on start in this case. Here is stacktrace. Maybe you can recommend something? $ qtile 2012-11-15 00:46:57,023 qtile fire:183 Internal event: setgroup((), {}) 2012-11-15 00:46:57,024 qtile fire:183 Internal event: focus_change((), {}) 2012-11-15 00:46:57,025 qtile fire:183 Internal event: layout_change((<libqtile.layout.max.Max object at 0x958024c>, <libqtile.manager.Group object at 0x949374c>), {}) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/qtile", line 77, in <module> q = make_qtile() File "/usr/bin/qtile", line 72, in make_qtile no_spawn=options.no_spawn) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/libqtile/manager.py", line 756, in __init__ self._process_screens() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/libqtile/manager.py", line 830, in _process_screens self.groups[i], File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/libqtile/manager.py", line 193, in _configure i._configure(qtile, self) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/libqtile/bar.py", line 166, in _configure self.height File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/libqtile/drawer.py", line 175, in __init__ self.surface = cairo.XCBSurface( AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'XCBSurface' $

@ei-grad done

Add python2-distribute to build depends, please.

RogerDuran commented on 2012-10-21 09:01 (UTC)

fixed the package and added the qtile-examples repo to /usr/share/doc/qtile-git/examples/

kuroneko commented on 2012-10-18 23:33 (UTC)

The example config has been changed to be included in the python package, so it is safe to remove the lines for copying the example config. Or you can change the cp line to point at its current location libqtile/resources/default_config.py

==> Copying example config cp: cannot stat ‘examples/config’: No such file or directory ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package(). Aborting... ==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build qtile-git.
