First own package on userrepository.eu

Until now, userrepository.eu only used software from AUR. Today, to get me distracted from the flu and a respiratory infection I got a few days ago, I’ve finally created my first package for Arch Linux on my repository. It’s for a GTK web browser named Eoli and it builds from the master git branch. Here’s the PKGBUILD at the time of writing: # Maintainer: Bruno Miguel ​ pkgname=eolie-git _gitname=eolie pkgver=da1899ff pkgrel=1 pkgdesc=“Simple GTK web browser for GNOME” arch=(‘x86_64’) url=“https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Eolie" license=(‘GPL3’) depends=(‘gtkspell3’ ‘python-cairo’ ‘python-dateutil’ ‘python-gobject’ ‘webkit2gtk’) makedepends=(‘git’ ‘gobject-introspection’ ‘meson’) optdepends=(‘python-beautifulsoup4: Import html bookmarks’ ‘python-crypto: Firefox Sync support’ ‘python-fxa: Firefox Sync support’ ‘python-pyopenssl: Show SSL certificates’ ‘python-requests-hawk: Firefox Sync support’) source=(“git+https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/eolie.git”) sha256sums=(‘SKIP’) ​ pkgver() { cd “${_gitname}” ( set -o pipefail git describe –long 2>/dev/null | sed ’s/\([^-]*-g\)/r\1/;s/-/./g’ || printf “r%s.%s” “$(git rev-list –count HEAD)” “$(git rev-parse –short HEAD)” ) } ​ build() { arch-meson “${_gitname}” build ninja -C build } ​ package() { DESTDIR="$pkgdir” meson install -C build } ​ ...

Metapackage for a personal installation of Arch Linux and Arch-based distributions

I’ve been using Arch or Arch-based distributions for over a year now. In this time testing a few of them, I’ve always lacked a simple and logical way of installing the same “essential” software. To tackle this, I’ve created a metapackage with all this software and this is what I’ve got so far: # Maintainer: Bruno Miguel https://twitter.com/brunomiguel pkgname=‘bruno-essentials’ pkgdesc=“A metapackage for some packages I find essential. Requires userrepository.eu repo” pkgver=‘0.0.2’ pkgrel=2 ...

Userrepository now on Arch Wiki

Thanks to the suggestion made by ‘guser’, I’ve added my repository to the Arch Wiki, in the non-signed section. I hope Arch Linux users may find it useful. Since I’m writing a post about userrepository, I’ll take the chance to list all packages currently available at the time of writing: acestream-engine acestream-launcher adwaita-qt adwm aerc android-messages-desktop archuseriso athenaeum-git atom-editor-bin axmud bindfs bindmap-git bitwarden-bin boostnote-bin bootiso boston-icon-theme-git brackets brave-dev-bin brightnessctl-git broot cava cawbird-git cht.sh cleanupdate-git clipgrab-kde clipman compton-tryone-git criptext-bin crusta cucumber curseradio-git deoplete diskmonitor dot-browser-bin dotdrop drawio-desktop elicit endlessh f3 falkon-git featherpad fedora-firefox-wayland-bin ferdi-git ffsend flowblade focuswriter foliate-git font-victor-mono fotoxx fuf galois gamehub ghostwriter git-cola glrnvim google-webdesigner gotop-git green-recorder-git gruvbox-material-git gruvbox-material-neosyn-git gstm guiscrcpy i3-gaps-rounded-git i3-plasma i3-volume icecat-bin imcompressor imeditor interui-otf ipman joplin jre kindd-git kitematic-git korla-icon-theme librewolf-bin marktext-bin micro mindforger mindi-converter-git mirage mpv-acestream ncpamixer-git ne newbreeze-git newbreeze-git-debug no-more-secrets notable-bin notekit-git notementum notes-up nx-gtk-themes-git nx-plasma-look-and-feel-git oomox open-adventure otf-anrt-baskervville otf-inter-ui otf-new-york otf-san-francisco-mono otf-san-francisco-pro oxipng pacaudit pakku pdfchain pfetch-git phoneboard pikaur pkghist plasma5-applets-eventcalendar polybar profile-cleaner publii python-pyshp qimgv-git qjournalctl qomui qoob-git qownnotes qtemu-git qtextpad qtwebflix-git qtws-base quilter raven-reader redshift-qt redshift-scheduler rememberthemilk rofi-emoji rofimoji-git roxterm scaleway-cli scat scrcpy sirikali spicetify-cli spotify sshrc station stremio swayshot telegram-desktop-bin terminal-markdown-viewer terminate termtrack-git thonny tiddlydesktop tlpui-git tmuxinator tor-browser trimage ttf-cascadia-code ttf-fira-go ttf-fira-mono-ibx ttf-inter-ui ttf-iosevka ttf-iosevka-ss09 ttf-league-mono ttf-merriweather ttf-op-slate ttf-orbitron ttf-public-sans ttf-roboto-mono typora uberwriter unbound-block-hosts urxvt-tabbedex vscodium webtorrent-desktop wofi-hg wordgrinder writer-git yaru-gnome-shell-theme yaru-gtk-theme yaru-icon-theme yaru-session yaru-sound-theme yay ydiff youtube-dl-gui-git zettlr-bin zlib-zpipe zotero If you use my repository and would like to have a package in there, feel free to drop a suggestion.

A minha desilusão cada vez maior com as redes sociais

Há já algum tempo que tenho vindo a ficar desapontado com o estado atual das redes sociais que utilizo mais frequentemente: Facebook e Twitter. Em ambas há muita polarização de opiniões, uma presença forte e irritante do politicamente correto, partilha de informação falsa e/ou coisas que sem pés nem cabeça, e um massajar constante de egos entre utilizadores. Se a tua reação foi “qual a novidade?”, eu confesso que ainda sou do tempo em que era possível ter uma discussão - daquelas em que debates ideias e não daquelas em que quase andas à porrada - com pessoas com opiniões diferentes, principalmente no Twitter. E dos encontros de utilizadores. Good ol’ days… ...

E o streaming o vento levou

Os serviços de streaming prometiam facilitar o acesso legal a conteúdos. Prometiam, pois claro, qual estereótipo de político. E como no estereótipo, as promessas foram levadas pelo primeiro vento que se levantou. Hoje, temos que ter n subscrições para podermos ver uma mão cheia de séries: Netflix, HBO, CBS, Youtube, Amazon… Entre estar a pagar a vários serviços para ver meia-dúzia de séries ou ir a um tracker de torrents, imaginem qual a opção que muita gente toma. ...

Detetado o primeiro planeta potencialmente habitável, fora do sistema solar, com água na atmosfera

Correndo o risco de parecer o Professor Farnsworth, da série Futurama: Good news, everyone! Um grupo de astrónomos confirmou a presença de vapor de água na atmosfera de um exoplaneta conhecido como K2-18b. O K2-18b foi detetado em 2015 pela Kepler e está a 111 anos-luz do nosso planeta. Ele é classificado como uma super-Terra, isto é, tem uma massa superior à do nosso planeta mas inferior à de planetas como Neptuno. ...

My "killer" #FM2019 tactic

In the last 5 months or so (I’m really bad with dates), I’ve been improving the first tactic I built for Football Manager 2019. This was done using the latest official game update at the time of writing. Before this, I was using a tactic made by some user from fmscout.com. I can’t really recall which was but I had good results, yet would notice some instability in the performance every few games even against weaker adversaries. Playing with Benfica, I would be league champion but with one or two defeats, and a few ties. Of course, winning the Champions League would be a really hard thing to accomplish. ...
