# Breezy Desktop KWin Plugin - AUR PKGBUILD
This directory contains the PKGBUILD file for creating an Arch Linux AUR package for the Breezy Desktop KWin plugin.
## File
- `PKGBUILD.kwin` - AUR PKGBUILD for breezy-desktop-kwin-git
## About
The `breezy-desktop-kwin-git` package provides the KWin plugin for Breezy Desktop, which enables virtual desktop environments for gaming and productivity on KDE Plasma 6 using [supported XR glasses](https://github.com/wheaney/XRLinuxDriver#supported-devices).
## Installation via AUR
Once this PKGBUILD is published to AUR, Arch Linux users can install Breezy Desktop for KWin with:
```bash
yay -S breezy-desktop-kwin-git
```
or using other AUR helpers like `paru`.
After installation:
1. Log out and back in
2. Enable "Breezy Desktop" from the Desktop Effects in System Settings
3. Launch the Breezy Desktop application to configure settings
**Important**: If you have previously installed Breezy Desktop using the setup script, you must uninstall it first using `~/.local/bin/breezy_kwin_uninstall` before installing via AUR.
## Dependencies
The package requires:
- KDE Plasma 6 (KWin) with Wayland support
- Qt6 (base and declarative modules)
- KDE Frameworks 6 (kconfig, kconfigwidgets, kcoreaddons, kglobalaccel, ki18n, kcmutils, kwindowsystem, kxmlgui)
- Python 3
- libepoxy and libxcb
- xr-driver-git >= 2.0.0 (XR driver backend)
## Manual Build
To build the package manually without publishing to AUR:
1. Copy `PKGBUILD.kwin` to a clean build directory
2. Rename it to `PKGBUILD`
3. Run `makepkg -si` to build and install
## Publishing to AUR
To publish or update this package on AUR:
1. Create or clone the AUR repository for `breezy-desktop-kwin-git`
2. Copy the contents of `PKGBUILD.kwin` to `PKGBUILD` in the AUR repo
3. Update `.SRCINFO` by running: `makepkg --printsrcinfo > .SRCINFO`
4. Commit and push to AUR
## Notes
- This package builds from the latest git source
- The version is automatically derived from the VERSION file in the repository
- Git submodules (sombrero, PyXRLinuxDriverIPC) are automatically initialized during build
- The package installs to system directories (/usr) following Arch Linux packaging standards
- Users must be on Wayland to use virtual display features
- For X11 users, only physical display features will work
- The prepare() step checks for existing script-based installations and will exit if found
## Structure
This PKGBUILD follows the same structure as the GNOME variant:
- Uses `_pkgbase` variable for consistency
- Initializes git submodules in build() step
- Checks for existing installations in prepare() step
- Uses md5sums for checksums
- License format matches GNOME package (GPL-3.0)
