Package for Archlinux User Repository (AUR) #2

Open tijko opened 2 months ago

tijko commented 2 months ago

I was going to volunteer for maintaining the PKGBUILD for AUR. Currently using pip install is not allowed, unless flagging with --break-system-packages, which is not ideal.

This is a very straightforward task and would provide users of Archlinux a conformant method of installation.

I'm not against that, if it doesn't require any effort from my side.

I'm wondering about the benefits though. Would such a package be mostly for convenience? The recommended way seems to be to install packages in a virtual environment instead, but I'm not familiar with Arch myself.

Not at all, I was tossing my hat in the ring. I've followed libnl and have written a decent amount of C level Netlink code. having this project was something that I thought would benefit the community. Which ties in to your next bit:

Thats pretty much it. You are able to install with yay or any other Archlinux package tools.
