# qtile-install-script (for wayland)

A suite to install qtile with all dependencies and extensions correctly and in a reproducible way.

## Goal

- An easy way to install and update to the most recent version of qtile 

- Have a reproducible setup of a qtile installation, including dependencies and extensions (everything you need alongside dotfiles)

- Fix all libraries automatically to prevent pywlroots bugs (wayland)

- Corretly build cffi of qtile [not necessary anymore since qtile now handles it automatically]

- A repository to reference how qtile was installed

## What it does

- configure in `config.toml`

- installs all necessary dependencies one by one

- patches libraries not being linked to system libraries

- clones and installs qtile

- runs ffi build scripts

- optionally installs extensions

- links the install to your symlink of choice

## Usage

configure in `config.toml`: installation directory, symlink, extensions, ...

`./qtile-packager.py clean` to clean / uninstall everything

`./qtile-packager.py install` cleans and then installs everything

`./qtile-packager.py update` update the installation

Then you can start qtile for example with `dbus-run-session qtile start -b wayland` (make sure your link target is in the path).
