Added an option for Arch Linux to .travis/deps.sh #351
Conversation
Added an option that uses pacman to install everything, therefore making setup simpler for Arch users.
I've never heard of ArchLinux. Is that some obscure packager? |
Archlinux is a minimalist Linux distribution, its default package manager is pacman. Yes it may be able to check the package manager you're using, but I thought it best to keep things simpler and just require the user to specify Arch. Yes it may be better to name it arch-linux or arch_linux, although I thought it would be distinct enough, as I only know of one operating system that is named Arch. |
The reason I suggested arch-linux is that it makes it clear it's a flavor of Linux, rather than a distinct operating system like MacOS or FreeBSD or VMS. |
Good point, I can fix that |
Changed "arch" to "arch-linux"
One thing about this PR is the personal name on Github of @PurpleAce88 . It is hard for me to believe that "Ender Wiggin" is actually your name. Wikipedia says:
Generally, we'd like to see the real name of the folks who submit changes. Another PR hasn't been merged for this very reason.... |
Oh. I should probably change that. You are correct my name is not Ender Wiggin. I have changed my profile accordingly to display my correct name. |
Thanks, so could you close this PR and resubmit it with your real name on the commits? |
