i3xrocks split into packages #26

Closed paolomainardi closed 3 years ago

First of all, let me thank you a lot for this great project, having Regolith on Archlinux is uber cool.

What i've noticed for now is that i3xrocks is a full package containing all blocks available, that are a bit overwhelming, i shuold dig the packages more but just in case, is there a way to remove some of them ? I've installed this one:https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/regolith-full/

gardotd426 commented 3 years ago

It only contains 16 blocks. There are way, way more than that available for i3blocks.

Further, the full installed size of the entire regolith-i3xrocks package is only 77.9 KiB. It's 2021, 78 KiB is quite small. The package for regolith-st is bigger than that, and that's st, a suckless-developed application. So I'm honestly really struggling with understanding where you get the sense that the package is too large or how it's overwhelming. If you could explain what you're talking about and how it's overwhelming I might consider doing something about it, but right now what you're saying makes no sense, it's not large from a size perspective.

@gardotd426 overwhelming was related to the UI not the packages... Usually on the standard Regolith that packages are splitted in smaller ones and you can decide which one you want to enable or not, that was the point. I hope it is more clear now :)

Further, since you are so aggressive, it is better if I stay away from this project at all.

gardotd426 commented 3 years ago

...where on earth did that come from?

Okay, suit yourself. That was bizarre. What you were asking wasn't making sense, so I asked you to clarify.

If anyone else sees this, I've gone ahead and split up the packages. Obviously installing regolith-full with an AUR helper will install everything, but you can uninstall individual i3xrocks modules after installation. Each i3xrocks module is its own package now.

If you already have Regolith DE installed, you don't have to do anything special and will automatically be moved over to this format when you update.

Well, maybe I’ve over reacted and so happy to have seen a progress in this area too.

Just an honest question, have you considered to open PRs against the origin to integrate the patches ? Like the flashback one.
