A simple Python/Qt6 sensor monitor for the Plasma 6 Desktop

Hello everyone,

I've just submitted my first package to the AUR and wanted to share it. It's a simple sensor monitor app I built for my own use on the Plasma 6 desktop.

It's called plasmasys and is built with Python and Qt6 to feel as native as possible.

Key Features:

    General Info: Shows host, model, OS, kernel, IP, and live network (Up/Down) speeds.

    CPU: Displays CPU model, total usage, and a full list of per-core usage.

    Memory & Storage: Tracks RAM usage, lists all disk partitions (with usage), and shows live Disk R/W speeds.

    Temps & Fans: Lists all available temperature and fan sensors from psutil.

    System Tray: Includes a tray icon with a quick summary tooltip and "close to tray" functionality.

It's a pretty straightforward app, but I plan on maintaining it and adding features.

You can install it with any AUR helper:
Bash

yay -S plasmasys

    AUR Page: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/plasmasys
    GitHub (Source/Screenshots): https://github.com/asif54800-spec/plasmasys

This is my first time maintaining an AUR package, so any feedback on the app or the PKGBUILD itself is very welcome!

Thanks, Asif

The PKGBUILD does not need python-setuptools or python-wheel in makedepends as it does not build a wheel. Missing MIT license from git repo and from the installed package.

Thank you very much for the helpful feedback and review.
I’ve updated the package to address the points you mentioned:

Removed unnecessary python-setuptools and python-wheel from makedepends.

Added the missing MIT license file to the Git repository.

Included the license properly in the installed package under /usr/share/licenses/plasmasys/.

I appreciate your time and guidance in improving the package. The updated version has been pushed — thanks again for the review and support!
