saloniamatteo, I've adopted it. Have fun on Gentoo!

Hello everyone, I stepped down as a maintainer of memethesis-cli, because I'm no longer using Arch Linux (switched to Gentoo) and, as you can see, the package hasn't been updated in a long time.

Feel free to adopt this package yourself.

eschwartz, thanks for pointing that out. I am the author of this software, but unfortunately (a) I don't find it very practical to package all the deps and (b) I don't maintain this package. It is evident no one on earth would install a package for memes in a chroot environment, the occurrence of which implies a gigantic computer fuckup. I read ArchWiki/AUR submission guidelines, and there seems to be no rule against what you're talking about. You may proceed to contact the packager if you wish.

It is forbidden to pip install dependencies in a PKGBUILD. The resulting package does not depend via pacman on the requirements, and cannot be transferred to other computers or built in a chroot and still work, nor will it work on the current machine but a different user...

Add the needed dependencies to depends=() instead.

If they don't exist, package them.

Just for clarification I'll explain the dependencies:

  • git: needed to clone the GitHub repository;
  • imagemagick: when you want to preview your meme;
  • python: memethesis is coded in python;
  • python-pip: pip is needed to install python packages.
