I think will wait compiled packages from arch. But damn, it's slow..

Yep, need disk space. 250GB ssd, 70% full. Plus when we go rolling release distro like arch, the more installed packages, the 'merrier' when I want to upgrade the packages. Tried yay on VBox. yay need to get about > 100mb plus after install, need another ~100mb, and that surely will need update too (I tend to install what's necessary, and delete package that I seldom use. Keep my system lean). Then efl another ~400++

Here you go. I have gotten the git aur pkgs in a repo with an automated build in a clean arch chroot. I'll update them every now and again
Using curl:
Code:curl https://download.enlightenment.org/distros/arch/archlinux/arch/repo.txt -o - | sudo tee -a /etc/pacman.conf
Code:wget https://download.enlightenment.org/distros/arch/archlinux/arch/repo.txt -O - | sudo tee -a /etc/pacman.conf
Code:sudo pacman -Sy && sudo pacman -S enlightenment-git terminology-git rage-git

Would you be open to suggesting EndeavourOS as a painless way to install Arch Linux and get started with Enlightenment?
EDIT: Just tried in a VM. That's the easiest Arch install I've ever done and the default Xfce installation is quite useful when it comes to apps that complement E.Last edited by ermo; 27 May 2020, 12:42 PM.

Cool. I'll do regular builds. I've added rage and terminology also to the repo the -git versions and release versions too. i'll update releases as they happen. git packages will update whenever i run my rebuild script. it doesn't take too long so you can pick between release versions or xx-git packages as you see fit. also debug packages are built for all too. i will probably expand the things in the package set to build over time.
As I recall, on a fully updated default install, only about 10 new packages were pulled in when installing enlightenment-git, terminology-git and rage-git after the first boot into Xfce.
As an aside, I quite liked the default E design sensibilities, which was an unexpected but welcome surprise; I liked the default scaling options for HiDPI displays of varying density in particular. =)Last edited by ermo; 27 May 2020, 04:47 PM.

This way you only have to maintain the packages you maintain now?
