I'm maintaining the DoomRunner package in the AUR. Do you mind putting the link in the README so Arch Linux users can get DoomRunner easier? Here it is: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/doomrunner/

Youda008 commented 3 years ago

That's awesome! I've never thought my app would make it into an official repository. I modified the README. Thank's a lot.

poperigby commented 3 years ago

Heh, it's not really official (Arch User Repositories), but I'm glad to be a help (:

@poperigby The AUR package does not make a desktop entry for the application, can you please fix this?

poperigby commented 1 year ago

@rollingmoai This would be easiest if a desktop file was included in the repository. I can make a PR.

poperigby commented 1 year ago

I'll just have to wait for a new release to include it in the AUR.

@poperigby Thank you so much for maintaining this package!

Looking over the PKGBUILD, is it still necessary to install to /opt? #34 seems to fix the 'issue' of DoomRunner creating its config in the same directory as the executable. Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems that there's nothing that would cause problems if we installed to /usr/bin.

Youda008 commented 1 year ago

True. DoomRunner now uses ~/.config/DoomRunner/ to store its files on Linux, and it's a single executable, so it should be able to run from standard binary directories.

Happy to do it :slightly_smiling_face:

Great! I just updated the PKGBUILD. It seems to work on my system, but do you mind testing it?

poperigby commented 1 year ago

@Youda008 It looks like DoomRunner is still installing a binary to /opt/DoomRunner/bin/DoomRunner for some reason, as well as installing one in /usr/bin. Any idea why that would be happening?

I did some quick testing, and it looks like the target path in DoomRunner.pro needs to be changed to install correctly. The .desktop file will also need the executable changed from 'doomrunner' to 'DoomRunner'.

poperigby commented 1 year ago

Thanks for testing. Would you like to submit a PR with those changes, or should I?

It was you who made these changes 🙂 https://github.com/Youda008/DoomRunner/pull/32, https://github.com/Youda008/DoomRunner/pull/33

I just made the necessary pull request. Hopefully this is sufficient.

Oh lol

poperigby commented 1 year ago

@Youda008 Do you mind pushing a new minor version with @Throun's PR? I accidentally modified the AUR build already, so it's currently not working.

Youda008 commented 1 year ago

I'm sorry for answering so late. I have been extremely busy the last 2 months. I will attempt to release a new bug-fix version soon with the current build settings.

poperigby commented 1 year ago

No worries. Do it whenever you have time.

Youda008 commented 11 months ago

@poperigby What commands do the users need to add this repository and install this package? I would like to add that to the README too.

poperigby commented 11 months ago

They can run this series of commands:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/doomrunner.git
cd doomrunner
makepkg --syncdeps --install --rmdeps --clean

To update, they can just run git pull in the package repository, and then makepkg --syncdeps --install --rmdeps --clean again.

Additionally, you could tell them how to do it with an AUR helper, like paru.

Here's a draft:

Installing doomrunner AUR Package

To install doomrunner on Arch Linux, follow these steps:

1. With paru AUR Helper (Recommended)

# Install `paru` if you don't have it

# Update your system
sudo pacman -Syyu

# Install `doomrunner` using `paru`
paru -S doomrunner

2. Manual Installation

# Clone the `doomrunner` AUR repository
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/doomrunner.git

# Navigate to the cloned directory
cd doomrunner

# Review the `PKGBUILD` file (Optional)
# Make sure there are no suspicious lines

# Build and install the package
makepkg -sirc

Please exercise caution when using AUR packages and review the PKGBUILD file to ensure safety.
