Requesting PKGBUILD for dwm-sprinkles

Runiq · 2010-06-08 12:28:56

Done. In case you want to maintain this, I'll happily abandon it.

zowki · 2010-06-08 12:36:01

Thanks, that was fast! Go ahead and maintain it if you don't find it too much trouble.

0mark · 2010-06-09 09:53:53

Yay! Just as i thought i should make one, and there it is!
Thanks

hellomynameisphil · 2010-06-10 01:29:04

Thanks! I had been considering taking this on, but I'm an Arch newbie so wasn't sure if I was up to it.

Runiq · 2010-06-10 05:20:27

Package maintaining is really simple, especially for packages like this one which don't need much attention at all - they pretty much update themselves and don't need manual patching. Look into it, there's a lot of unmaintained packages in the AUR that could use some love.

I'll add the i686 hook now, I guess it'll run there anyways.

Oh wow, thanks. I've been using sprinkles for a while now and just maintaing it through svn, but this will be simpler.

BTW, is this the latest version? Word on the street is fullscreen flash finally works.

The playground has the facts right. 'dwm -v' should show you the version -- 5.8.2 is the magic number.

Judging by the news on the sprinkles homepage, I'd wager that its up to date.

0mark · 2010-06-14 10:41:18

Last Sync i made was 06/09/10. But the PKGBUILD uses Rev 36, current is 40. 36 is from March.

flamelab · 2010-06-14 12:56:48

Makepkg will pull the latest sources automatically, no matter what the pkgver is. It will update this + the sources.

0mark · 2010-06-14 20:46:41

Hm, you are right, it actually fetches the latest Version. Now im confused. I read this lines from the PKGBUILD:
if [ -d $_svnmod/.svn ]; then
(cd $_svnmod && svn up -r $pkgver)
else
svn co $_svntrunk --config-dir ./ -r $pkgver $_svnmod
fi
So i thought that the Revision $pkgver will be used.

falconindy · 2010-06-14 21:12:04

Correct, but since its an SVN package, it always does an 'svn up' and updates the pkgver before entering the build function. Line 1245-ish is where that magic happens in makepkg (if you're curious).

0mark · 2010-06-15 08:30:45

Ok, thats cool

clutch · 2010-06-19 16:40:12

This pkgbuild won't work for me for some reason. I'll post the error later if anyone wants it, this was a few hours ago I was playing with it and have since given up because I already have it through svn anyway.

Regardless, I'm getting some instability with it on my laptop. It occasionally crashes X. One 100% reproducable crash is trying to open another instance of urxvt while using the bottomstack layout. Opening surf on a tag that's in bottomstack crashes it as well. So far those are the only two I've found that do it. I've reinstalled urxvt, rebuilt surf, rebuilt dwm-sprinkles, no help. Is libxinerama really the only dep for sprinkles? I have sprinkles running on my desktop at home with a nearly identical setup and its been rock solid. The desktop uses nvidia graphics though, oppposed to the intel integrated crap in this laptop, dunno if that makes a big difference.

I'm logging dwm and X right now, so when it crashes again I will pastebin any relevant bits. Just wondering right now if anyone else can reproduce these crashes.

0mark · 2010-06-21 09:23:38

Could you please post your config.h if its not the default one? I could not reproduce this for now, but i will try again later with intel graphics.

Runiq · 2010-08-20 18:40:33

Hey everyone, maintainer dude here.

I just visited the homepage of sprinkles (for the first time in a while) and saw that there's a stable version available that apparently uses the "normal" versioning scheme, as well as a new experimental branch. Should I add PKGBUILDs for those as well and rename the current package to dwm-sprinkles-svn?

If you want, sure. I may check out the experimental one.

Runiq · 2010-08-20 20:47:31

Okay, done. The old dwm-sprinkles is now dwm-sprinkles-svn, the new dwm-sprinkles package contains the latest stable release as announced here. I also uploaded dwm-sprinkles-svn-experimental. Lots of links, I know, but I hope I made it clear enough. If problems arise, you holler.

By the way, for how long has the dwmm script been in the package? It's a really neat way to deal with all the recompiling, I think.

Edit: Hey 0mark, I didn't even notice until now that you're on the Arch forums.

Argh. I need to learn to read

flamelab · 2010-08-20 21:52:48

A semi-offtopic newbee-on-dwm-question: someone with no knowledge on C (like me), can configure dwm a bit easily ?

Is there a *good* guide out there ?

There are many guides but I haven't used them so I don't know if they're good.

Forum Ninja, never to be seen until it is too late

Btw, the 'experimental' branch is to be used with care. Its partially extremely ugly, and i know i had left at last one array index unchecked. I will do better later
Most changes are in the bar anyway. Here is what it could look like now:

I have the same problem. Rock solid on my desktop, I change my dwm config once a week/month, then when I installed arch on a laptop (with Intel) I compiled the very same package with the same config of dwm, and I crash everytime I open a terminal in tag 2,3,4,5 if there is no terminal in tag 1. (rxvt-unicode)

Anyway, I thought it had something to do with intel, and didn't bother much with it, but last night I reinstalled my desktop, now using 64-bit (laptop still 32-bit). And I have the exact same crashes on my desktop now too.

I don't think it's related to dwm, I think I'm missing a package.

I used the /arch/quickinstall script by the way. First time for me, and I noticed I got alot less packages. That's what makes me think I'm missing something.

0mark · 2010-11-08 13:20:28

Which dwm package do you use, and could you post your config.h?

Arch Linux
