Arch Linux PKGBUILD and little led cycle helper scriptie inside

[frostworx]

Hey,
I wrote a quick Arch PKGBUILD for macropad_tool.

• the project does not have a license yet, so I chose license=('AGPL3') as a placeholder
• the pkgver is hardcoded to '0.1.r144.56911748' for now

PKGBUILD :

pkgname=macropad_tool-git
_pkgname=macropad_tool
pkgver=0.1.r144.56911748
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="tool to program a macropad"
arch=('x86_64')
url="https://github.com/kamaaina/${_pkgname}"
license=('AGPL3')
depends=()
makedepends=('git' 'rust')
source=("git+https://github.com/kamaaina/$_pkgname.git")
sha256sums=('SKIP')

build() {
	cd "$_pkgname"
	cargo build --release --workspace
}

package() {
	install -Dm755 "${_pkgname}/target/release/${_pkgname//_/-}" "$pkgdir/usr/bin/${_pkgname//_/-}"
	install -Dm 644 "${_pkgname}/80-macropad.rules" "${pkgdir}/etc/udev/rules.d/80-macropad.rules"

}

Also I wrote this little macropad-tool-led bash script
(increments the led color array up with no or "u" argument, and down with "d" argument)

#!/bin/bash
declare -a COLS=( "red" "orange" "yellow" "green" "cyan" "blue" "purple" )

AL=${#COLS[@]}

CSHM="/dev/shm/mpcol.txt"

if [ ! -f "$CSHM" ]; then
  echo 0 > "$CSHM"
fi

CUR="$(cat "$CSHM")"

if [ -z "$1" ] || [ "$1" == "u" ]; then
  NXT=$(( CUR + 1 ))
  if [ "$NXT" -gt "$AL" ]; then
    NXT=0
  fi
  echo "$NXT" > "$CSHM"

elif [ "$1" == "d" ]; then
  NXT=$(( CUR - 1 ))
  if [ "$NXT" -lt 0 ]; then
    NXT="$AL" 
  fi
  echo "$NXT" > "$CSHM"
fi

macropad-tool led 3 1 "${COLS[$NXT]}"

edit: scratch that mapping, it breaks keys 7 and 9:

and mapped it to one of the macropad knobs in xbindkeys

#Remark
"/usr/local/bin/macropad-tool-led"
    m:0x10 + c:18
    Mod2 + 9 

#Remark
"/usr/local/bin/macropad-tool-led d"
    m:0x10 + c:16
    Mod2 + 7 

Everything no big deal, but maybe someone has some use for it.
Have fun!

cool, thanks for sharing!

i had initially planned to push a package to aur for this, but always got side tracked with other things. perhaps this is the push i needed to get one uploaded
