Some ports for the CRUX operating system

crux-ports

Some ports for the CRUX operating system. This README was modified from CRUX MATE's.

Quickstart

This git repository is also a ports collection. You can enable it like so:

On your CRUX Linux target installation download the file /etc/ports/baguette.httpup:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/baguette/crux-ports/master/baguette.httpup -o /etc/ports/baguette.httpup

Enable the contrib ports collection file in /etc/ports if it's not already enabled:

mv contrib.rsync.inactive contrib.rsync

Edit the file /etc/prt-get.conf:

1. enable the contrib collection if it's not already (it is needed for some dependencies), and
2. enable this collection by adding a new line:

prtdir /usr/ports/baguette 

Finally, issue

ports -u

at the command line to get the ports collection (and any updates to other port collections).

Installing the awesome window manager

Issue:

prt-get depinst awesome

at the command line to fetch, build, and install awesome and the necessary dependencies.

When this completes (it will take some time), assuming there are no problems or conflicts, enable the dbus daemon at startup in your /etc/rc.conf file (example below)

SERVICES=(dbus net crond) 

If using startx configure your ~/.xinitrc with something like:

##  if there is no existing consolekit session, try to create a new one
##  running awesome;  otherwise, just start awesome without consolekit:
#
if [ -z "$XDG_SESSION_COOKIE" -a -x /usr/bin/ck-launch-session ]; then
  exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session awesome
else
  exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session awesome
fi

Then issue 'startx' at the command line. Assuming kernel compile options are correct you should find yourself with a working awesome desktop (basic).

Issues

If anything doesn't work as described in this README, please report your issues.
