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.

@the_isz added pygtk as dependency @Chris2048 pygobject it's a pygtk dependency

'pygobject' also seems to be a dependency.

Confirming mikezackles finding: qtile won't run without pygtk being installed.

I wasn't able to run this without pygtk. Should it be added to the dependencies?

added config examples in /usr/share

This now depends on cairo-xcb, the same dependency as awesome, which works and passes all unit tests. The main difference is that the git clone is a 100mb download, while the release is just 23mb. pycairo-git and xpyb-git are still required since there have been important updates recently in these bindings.

Maybe include examples/config/cortesi-config.py ?

libxcb-git? http://qtile.org/doc-current/index.html

<deleted-account> commented on 2010-09-18 20:21 (UTC)

can I take over this package because you're not keeping it up to date?

<deleted-account> commented on 2010-08-25 11:40 (UTC)

Need to update PKGBUILD, cause new qtile v 0.4 needs last versions of cairo, pycairo, xpyb and libxcb.
