First of all, let me thank you for your interest in Lomiri-Arch!

Special thanks to:

  • z3ntu for helping with updating and patching packages

As the project is in it's alpha stage, your contribution is very important.

Packaging

You can help us by packaging the components of Lomiri.

Start off by reading the AUR wiki page. Make yourself familiar with PKGBUILDs.

All packages are listed in the STATUS of this repository. They split into 2 categories: cmake and qmake ones.

Try to build one of them, make a PKGBUILD for it. Even if it fails to build, PR the PKGBUILD here. Open an issue on the upstream repository if you think it's a bug. Don't forget to include the link to that issue in your PR.

Testing

You can install Lomiri on your system, and help by testing individual packages.

If something doesn't feel right, open an issue both upstream and in this repository.

Patching

If you have some coding knowledge, you can take a look at the issues list in the STATUS. There are also some undocumented issues to look for in BROKEN.txt.

Try to fix as many things as possible. PR a patch upstream, and PR a patch in this repository. A packager will include your patch at compile time until the upstream PR is merged.
