Make package to ease install on Archlinux #12

Closed milouse closed 9 years ago

milouse commented 9 years ago

eg must be easily installable on archlinux, through official repositories or at least on AUR

milouse commented 9 years ago

Done https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/eg/ (source are here: http://projects.depar.is/divers/dir?ci=10500f1cb348abe7&name=pkgbuilds/eg)

Awesome, thanks!

So what is now the preferred command to install on archlinux?

milouse commented 9 years ago

For now the command is yaourt -S eg as the package is only available through non-official user repository AUR (they are very similar to ubuntu's ppa), thus it requires the user to have installed the non-official package manager yaourt.

The better way to let the eg's users to know about it is by using the following paragraph for example:

eg is available on Archlinux through the Arch User Repository (AUR). You can install it using yaourt or any other appropriate tool:

yaourt -S eg

By the way, the package currently provide the python2 version of eg, by hard-editing (with sed) the python scripts shebang during installation. I'm following #8 in order to provide a python3 version of eg ASAP, as Archlinux default python interpreter is already the version 3.

Would one of you on archlinux mind seeing if the new release 0.1.0 is pip-installable?

milouse commented 9 years ago

What do you want to say with pip-installable? In fact I used to pull from github because (shame on me) I don't look further if you publish stable version elsewhere. Now that I know you push stable version on pipy, I'll use pipy as a source for the package. If I've time and mood for, I'll create a second package, targeted to power user to provide dev version, built from master branch on github (archlinux provide solution to update packages as soon as new commit are pushed somewhere).

Ah I see, sorry. I thought the reason pypi was out was because before this release we didn't support python3. I was just wondering if pip install eg works on archlinux now with the latest release.

Your plan sounds like a good one!
