I have a bunch of bash scripts on my Arch Linux machine and a few of them depend on each other so thought it'd be nice to organize them using some package management solution. bpkg seems promising but I'm running into the following
issue.

I started packaging my first script by creating its own folder ~/Documents/scripts/best-split, initialized a git repo, and put the following files:

  • best-split.sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# best-split

width=$(xwininfo -id "$(xdotool getwindowfocus)" | grep -E '(Width)' | awk '{print $2}')
height=$(xwininfo -id "$(xdotool getwindowfocus)" | grep -E '(Height)' | awk '{print $2}')

if [[ $width -gt $height ]]; then
    i3-msg "split h"
else
    i3-msg "split v"
fi
  • bpkg.json
{
    "name": "best-split",
    "version": "0.0.1",
    "description": "splits i3wm window either horizontally or vertically",
    "scripts": ["best-split.sh"],
    "install": "make install"
}
  • Makefile
BIN ?= best-split
PREFIX ?= ~/.local

install:
	cp best-split.sh $(PREFIX)/bin/$(BIN)

uninstall:
	rm -f $(PREFIX)/bin/$(BIN)

The files have the following permissions:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 myuser myuser 299 Dec 25 15:03 best-split.sh
-rw-r--r-- 1 myuser myuser 192 Dec 25 14:58 bpkg.json
drwxr-xr-x 1 myuser myuser 144 Dec 25 15:01 .git
-rwxr-xr-x 1 myuser myuser 126 Dec 25 14:58 Makefile

Then I run

bpkg install -g ~/Documents/scripts/best-split

And I get no output of executing the command!

It runs for 2-3 sek, exits without any output and can't find my script installed under ~/.local/bin or anywhere on my system, as if nothing has happened!

More info:

% bpkg --version
1.1.4

% ls ~/.local/bin
bpkg	      bpkg-install  bpkg-realpath  bpkg-suggest  term
bpkg-env      bpkg-json     bpkg-run	   bpkg-term	 
bpkg-getdeps  bpkg-list     bpkg-show	   bpkg-update
bpkg-init     bpkg-package  bpkg-source    bpkg-utils

*Installing term worked. The problem is when i try to insall from local directory.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
