As discussed, smassh has been turned into a source package. The pyinstaller binary can be installed with the smassh-bin package. If you want the binary released on GitHub, you should install smassh-bin instead. But normally, these two make no difference.

Yes I updated the readme on github as well!

Thanks :)

@jaxvanyang

I updated the code and it works!!! Thanks a lot <3

@jaxvanyang

Oh oops, my bad. It was not the themes Yea, we can move it no worries!

I should probably use the cache folder (~/.cache/smassh/style.css). What do you think?

@kraanzu

No need to rush, I also get busy sometimes. The option you mention is probably --add-data for pyinstaller. There is no need to do that for the source package, because it includes all source file like PyPI package. The problem is that when you install it as a system package, all files are owned by root.

Problem code is in css_generator.py, only the write code crash, read is fine. If this file can be moved to the config directory, I can try to fix it.

@jaxvanyang

Hmm... There should be an option somewhere to include files like how I do for the binary.

I'm a little busy now so I'll check it and update you in like... 4-5 hrs

@kraanzu

smassh can be built and installed with this PKGBUILD:

build() {
        cd "$pkgname-$pkgver"
        python -m build --wheel --no-isolation
}

package() {
        cd "$pkgname-$pkgver"
        python -m installer --destdir "$pkgdir" dist/*.whl
}

But when I ran it, I got:

This is because smassh use a system path for the merged theme file. Maybe we can make it stored in ~/.config/smassh like the config.

Hey Hey @jaxvanyang!

Sorry for the delayed response, Yea it works

You can change the PKGBUILD/SRCINFO for the non-binary/source and I can review/test it as well

Thank you so much :)

I have created the smassh-bin package, and added you as comaintainer. If that looks good to you, I'll begin making smassh built from source.

@kraanzu

I suppose we can't rename the packages? If you need to create new packages for source/binary feel free to do so and you can add me as a co-maintainer there :)

Yes, we can't. So I will create a -bin package first, then make this smassh package built from source, and pin a comment here to notice people who wants -bin package.
