Description
I have a bunch of bash scripts on my Arch Linux machine and a few of them depend on each other so thought it'd be nice to organize them using some package management solution. bpkg seems promising but I'm running into the following
issue.
I started packaging my first script by creating its own folder ~/Documents/scripts/best-split, initialized a git repo, and put the following files:
- best-split.sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# best-split
width=$(xwininfo -id "$(xdotool getwindowfocus)" | grep -E '(Width)' | awk '{print $2}')
height=$(xwininfo -id "$(xdotool getwindowfocus)" | grep -E '(Height)' | awk '{print $2}')
if [[ $width -gt $height ]]; then
i3-msg "split h"
else
i3-msg "split v"
fi
- bpkg.json
{
"name": "best-split",
"version": "0.0.1",
"description": "splits i3wm window either horizontally or vertically",
"scripts": ["best-split.sh"],
"install": "make install"
}
- Makefile
BIN ?= best-split
PREFIX ?= ~/.local
install:
cp best-split.sh $(PREFIX)/bin/$(BIN)
uninstall:
rm -f $(PREFIX)/bin/$(BIN)
The files have the following permissions:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 myuser myuser 299 Dec 25 15:03 best-split.sh
-rw-r--r-- 1 myuser myuser 192 Dec 25 14:58 bpkg.json
drwxr-xr-x 1 myuser myuser 144 Dec 25 15:01 .git
-rwxr-xr-x 1 myuser myuser 126 Dec 25 14:58 Makefile
Then I run
bpkg install -g ~/Documents/scripts/best-split
And I get no output of executing the command!
It runs for 2-3 sek, exits without any output and can't find my script installed under ~/.local/bin or anywhere on my system, as if nothing has happened!
More info:
% bpkg --version
1.1.4
% ls ~/.local/bin
bpkg bpkg-install bpkg-realpath bpkg-suggest term
bpkg-env bpkg-json bpkg-run bpkg-term
bpkg-getdeps bpkg-list bpkg-show bpkg-update
bpkg-init bpkg-package bpkg-source bpkg-utils
*Installing term worked. The problem is when i try to insall from local directory.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
