< p > Yesterday I decided to get some work done and ported most of my Gentoo packages for my software , such as speedwm and spmenu but much more to Arch . Of course , first I had to learn how to actually do this , but as it turns out , it’ s actually even easier than on Gentoo . I was able to create all of these packages , including testing in less than an hour .</ p >
< p > I had to make a few minor changes to spDE for it to work on Arch , such as changing the owner of the home folder to the user rather than the user’ s group but for the most part it works perfectly . No , the package will not be on the AUR as I do not want the user to have to deal with compiling the stuff locally . I also don’ t want to deal with the AUR moderators potentially deleting packages .</ p >

< p > With that said , if you want to install spDE on your Arch box , add my < a href = " https://git.speedie.site/speedie-aur " > arch repository </ a > ( instructions in README ) and < code > pacman - Syyu </ code >. Then simply < code > pacman - S spde </ code > provided the sync completed successfully ! The rest of the steps are the same as on Gentoo , run < code > spde - i </ code > , < code > spde - a & lt ; your user & gt ; </ code > and finally < code > startx / usr / bin / spde - r </ code > to start spDE .</ p >

< p > spDE on Arch is < em > nearly </ em > identical to spDE on Gentoo . There are a few minor differences but they shouldn’ t be that noticeable . If you don’ t want the entire spDE package , you can choose to install the stuff individually , too . There are packages like < code > speedwm </ code > , < code > speedwm - spde </ code > , < code > spmenu </ code > , < code > libspeedwm </ code > , < code > speedwm - extras </ code > , < code > fontctrl </ code > and so on which can be installed without installing the entire thing .</ p >
< p > That was just an update for those of you that are interested in running spDE on Arch , I have been putting this off for a long time so I’ m glad I finally did it . Thank you for reading , install spDE if you want , and have a good day !</ p >
