Arch Linux AUR installer.

[satiricon]

I don't know if this is the right way to ask for a documentation change. If not, please delete this.

I created a Arch Linux build package for LRR. Link.

Using the AUR package the installation process in Arch Linux would be as easy as entering pikaur -S lanraragi in the command line if the user is using pikaur. Using other AUR managers should be just as easy.

If the user is not using a AUR package manager the installation process would be something like:

wget https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/lanraragi.tar.gz   -O - | tar -xz
cd lanraragi
makepkg -rsi

That would take care of installing LRR together with build and normal dependencies and deleting build dependencies after successful building and installing.

The installer also creates a lanraragi.service unit file for starting, restarting and stopping LRR with systemd's systemctl. If Redis is down it will get it up.

ej: systemctl start lanraragi.service
systemctl restart lanraragi.service
systemctl stop lanraragi.service
systemctl status lanraragi.service

This also gives an easy way to read the log if necessary.

journalctl -u lanraragi -f

Wow, this is great! It ain't a real open source project until someone stuffed it into the AUR.

I'd recommend making a pull request for the Documentation to integrate your changes. That, or I can just copy-paste the text of this issue directly as it's clear enough...

[satiricon]

I'll make the pull request. Should I add another installation section in methods.md? Or a subsection in source.md?

[Difegue]

I've been thinking about a new installation section - If it's only about the AUR package for now it's fine but I might extend it into a "community" installation methods section later on.

It'd give me an excuse to mention the existing unraid community package as well!

@satiricon It gives me this error

Also it creates perl5 directory with libraries inside $HOME during build process.

Can you give me more info in order to duplicate the issue? How are you trying to install the package?

You might be not installing make dependencies? If you are using makepkg you might want to use the -s or --syncdeps option.

I can build and install the package (I tried yay and then makepkg), but it crashes with this error when I run it. It doesn't matter if I run it using systemd or manually with perl /usr/lib/lanraragi/script/launcher.pl -f /usr/lib/lanraragi/script/lanraragi the error is the same.

Also here's part of the output during build process.

Installing Perl modules... This might take a while.

Awesome I think I know what's the problem. Let me check.

[satiricon]

@Svadkos I pushed a new PKGBUILD to the AUR adding a dependency for perl-local-lib. Pretty sure that was the problem as I was able to duplicate the problem and fixed it with that change but there might be more unseen (by me) dependencies. Can you check if it works now?

Also it might be better to post issues about the installer in the AUR itself or in the installer repo https://github.com/satiricon/lanraragi-aur.

Cheers!
