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 updated git repo, make it depends on xorg-xpyb-git, and cairo>=1.12, to install qtile and pycairo-xcb-git we need to install cairo from testing, until it's committed to the stable repo. quick howto: edit /etc/pacman.conf and enable testing repo pacman -Sy cairo edit /etc/pacman.conf and disable testing repo yaourt or makepkg --install qtile-git

Update the following line in the PKGBUILD: _gitroot="git://github.com/qtile/qtile.git" the PKGBUILD points to an old repo that doesn't seem to be updated anymore.

Yet another update: The cairo-xcb package has been removed (prematurely) because the new 1.12 version of cairo has been declared as stable and contains the xcb backend. Yet, it hasn't been committed to the stable repository yet and the respective package has been flagged as out-of-date. Now, to successfully build qtile-git, you need to: - Grab cairo (1.12) from the abs, build and install it - Rebuild pycairo-xcb-git, changing its dependencies to include cairo instead of cairo-xcb. - Do the same for qtile-git (i.e. change its dependencies to include cairo instead of cairo-xcb and rebuild it). While we're at it: The package xpyb-git doesn't seem to compile anymore, so we should probably have qtile-git depend xorg-xpyb-git now. As soon as cairo 1.12 has been committed to the stable branch and python2-cairo has been rebuilt, qtile-git can just depend on those two packages instead of cairo-xcb and pycairo-xcb-git.

Ok, I checked it and the new (stable) cairo package still doesn't build the xcb backend. Which makes the removal of the cairo-xcb AUR package all the more problematic... Why has it been removed in the first place, I wonder...

the_isz commented on 2012-04-15 11:28 (UTC)

The cairo-xcb package has been removed from the AUR, presumably because of the new cairo version that is out (and including the xcb backend!?). Unfortunately, just building qtile-git and pycairo-xcb-git against cairo doesn't work, so I guess we need a new PKGBUILD :(

the main development should go here https://github.com/qtile/qtile i'm waiting that cortesi lets some other trusted devs make merges on that fork, look at http://groups.google.com/group/qtile-dev/browse_thread/thread/e940cebeba819493

KenjiTakahashi commented on 2012-03-04 08:26 (UTC)

Yep, main development goes there for some time already and it features many fixes and improvements.

Whoops, I meant https://github.com/paradoxxxzero/qtile.

Hey there, Would you consider switching the upstream repo over to https://github.com/paradoxxxzero/qtile.git? Judging from the Github fork tree for qtile (https://github.com/paradoxxxzero/qtile/network), it seems this repo has the most active development, and forks are merged back into it on a regular basis. I'm going to test it over the weekend and will report in case I find any issues. Installation has worked fine, though. Thanks for consideration!
