Should I install this AUR package or keep the flatpak version?

[Scotty_Trees]

Greetings lovely community,

Like I’ve mentioned before I came here from previously using PopOS and Solus. On both of those distros I had to use various flatpaks as there wasn’t always a native package option in some rare cases. So far on EndeavourOS I’ve managed to install all my applications from the Arch repos and a few small select packages from the AUR. I must’ve missed one package in my initial install that I thought I didn’t see in the Arch repos or AUR, so I had installed it via flatpak since that is how I used it before on previous distros. The application I’m referring to is called GWE (GreenWithEnvy): https://gitlab.com/leinardi/gwe

For those that haven’t heard of it before, what is GWE?

GWE is a GTK system utility designed to provide information, control the fans and overclock your NVIDIA video card
and graphics processor.

Now, this is by no means a mission critical application for me. The flatpak version of GWE does work just fine no issues to report. I just use it a few times a week real quick to check my NVIDIA’s GPU temp and it also shows a few other system stats that I find very useful. But since it’s in the AUR and I have the flatpak version, it got me wondering what most users in the Arch-based world would do. Should I stick with the working flatpak version of GWE that I have or should I remove it and give the AUR package a go?

The GWE AUR package is located here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gwe/

Now I can’t tell if the developer that maintains GWE is also the same AUR maintainer, but they do mention on their GitLab that you can install their package via the AUR, so maybe that’s all the confirmation I need to give it a try? I’m just not so certain at the moment what would be best. If anyone could advise me on what’s a good general practice to do please let me know, I appreciate any feedback. I’m totally fine to use a flatpak (it’s literally the only one I have installed on my system), but if it’s always advisable to give the AUR a go, then I can also try that option.

I noticed the AUR package has about 36 upvotes and was updated earlier this year, so I know people use it and it’s actively maintained, but some of the comments on the AUR page make me wonder if it will install okay or if I’ll come across any problems with some of the python packages that are also built from the AUR. Would love some insight into those that have more experience dealing with these sort of things. Thanks for any help!

If the AUR package is good then myself i prefer that than flatpaks. But, that’s just me wanting to stick with mostly the same.

[dalto]

The aur package is pretty simple. It pulls the source from github and builds it.

The first thing you should do is review the pkgbuild.

[Scotty_Trees]

@ricklinux yeah that was kind of my thought too, which is why I posed this question tonight, just wanted to see what others thought as well

@dalto is there any good resources you can point me towards to reviewing a pkgbuild? I don’t even know where to start on that.

[ricklinux]

I think what @dalto means is to look at the AUR package to see when it was last updated and the upvotes etc? Problems? Not sure what else.

Edit: Or maybe something entirely different?

[dalto]

@ricklinux

I think what @dalto means is to look at the AUR package to see when it was last updated and the upvotes etc? Problems? Not sure what else.

I actually didn’t mean any of that. I meant to review the PKGBUILD.

Sometimes they are complicated but this one is pretty simple. The stuff at the top is mostly informational the name, version, etc. This part:

pkgname=gwe
pkgver=0.15.3
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A system utility for controlling NVIDIA GPUs"
arch=('any')
url="https://gitlab.com/leinardi/gwe"
license=('GPL3')

The next part shows you the dependencies:

depends=('gobject-introspection' 'libdazzle' 'libappindicator-gtk3' 'python' 'python-cairo' 'python-gobject' 'python-injector' 'python-matplotlib' 'python-peewee' 'python-py3nvml' 'python-requests' 'python-rx' 'python-pyxdg' 'python-xlib')
makedepends=('meson' 'appstream-glib')

Unless you specifically are concerned about the deps, there isn’t much to be worried about there either.

The next part is probably the most important. The source array tells you where the source of the package is coming from:

source=("https://gitlab.com/leinardi/gwe/-/archive/$pkgver/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz")

In this case, it appears to come from the official gitlab page.

The next line is the checksums that is used to make sure the package is valid and the same as when they packager updated the PKGBUILD.

Here is the rest of it:

build() {
	if [[ -d "$srcdir/build" ]]; then
		rm -rf "$srcdir/build"
	fi
	meson --prefix /usr --buildtype=plain "$pkgname-$pkgver" build
	ninja -C build
}

check() {
	ninja -C build test
}

package() {
	DESTDIR="$pkgdir" ninja -C build install
}

That builds the source and then installs the results into the package.

[ricklinux]

That’s almost a forensic analysis.

[Scotty_Trees]

Oh wow dude, you managed to look up and type all that out in the same amount of time that it took me to go outside to give the wild stray cat that lives near us some food and water! Looks like I already have most of those packages installed on my system except for a few anyways. So looks like I’ll remove the flatpak, update my system, and give this GWE AUR package a go since it seems rather simple enough. Thanks for going above and beyond in answering man. I’ll update back in a few short minutes if it’s successful or not.

[fbodymechanic]

Always for me.

Repos > AUR > flatpak > appimage

NEVER snaps

[Scotty_Trees]

Looks like it was a success! Removed the flatpak version and installed the AUR version with yay -S gwe and it downloaded and built in under a minute and I loaded it up and it looks like everything is working as intended! So for the first time in like at least 2 years, I oddly now have a flatpak free system all thanks to everyone’s help. Thanks so very much! This forum is addictive!

Here’s my install/build output in case anyone is curious to see how it went:

If anyone could advise me on what’s a good general practice to do please let me know

i think there are some threads about flatpak vs AUR already. Just search the forum. On Arch (based) systems, i usually prefer AUR packages as well. You get a native package and you can manage (like update) all packages, repo or AUR via yay. Flatpaks need to be updated seperately. So it’s a little bit more convenient. On the other hand, its not much fun to build something like a browser (-> ungoogled-chromium, brave…) from the AUR. That can take hours. That’s where a flatpak may be more convenient

Of course there are more pros and cons for both, the AUR and flatpaks, but as mentioned at the beginning, just search the forum to find the related threads

flatpak > appimage

NEVER snaps

Out of curiosity, why? I’ve never used any of these and I’m not a fan of the bloated and opaque system that I feel would result from using too many of these, but I don’t know all too much about the differences between the three.

[fbodymechanic]

I like flatpaks better than appimage because your can update them in terminal still. Appimage just is until you go and delete and re download a new one.

Snaps. Ugh. @keybreak or @Kresimir do you all have that link to the thread why snaps are terrible?

Stop the hate already

Personally, I think most of the hate directed towards snapd is entirely justified. I’d like to have a beer with some of these fellows who commented, as they seem like funny dudes. I wonder why? [frog_thinking_72] If one is hated by so many, at a certain point, it stopped being everyone’s fault and became one’s own fault. Don’t pretend like Canonical is some poor underdog being bullied by mean trolls. It’s a big corporation that has done some incredibly shady stuff. They don’t get my pity, an…

KDE's August 2020 Apps Update

Oh boy, where to even start? Well, with Flatpak, because it’s a much lesser evil of the two. In fact, it’s not really that bad. The only issue I have with the concept of flatpaks is that they statically link all or most of their dependencies and do not integrate well with the system. The obvious downside of statically linking dependencies is that flatpaks use a lot of disk space. A less obvious, but perhaps more serious disadvantage is that older versions of dependencies may lack securit…

why snaps are terrible?

I love snaps. It is convenient that Canonical is tracking all my application usage so I don’t have to.

Ah. Say no more.

You’re starting to sound like me! I love the cynicism!!
