gnome-clocks-waked

gnome-clocks with waked support (arch linux PKGBUILD)

Description

This provides an Arch Linux (and derivatives) PKGBUILD for gnome-clocks that has been patched to use waked to wake up the device for alarms, as well as other small patches as needed.

This incorporates the following:

• base gnome-clocks pkgbuild (old)
• waked (original by seath) (updated from postmarketOS)
• lockscreen actions support
• custom default sounds (alarm-clock-elapsed.oga, complete.oga)

License

• Code/patches should be mostly GPL - let me know if there are any overlooked conflicts from sources
• Included sound files sources and info can be found in "extra-sources" (Public domain and Unlicensed - provided by community)

Installation

AUR Helper:

• pikaur -S gnome-clocks-waked

Manual:

• This depends on waked, which in turn depends on sdbus-ccp (both in the AUR)
• git clone https://github.com/lectrode/gnome-clocks-waked; cd gnome-clocks-waked
• (Optional: replace sound files - see "Howto" below)
• makepkg -si
• sudo systemctl enable waked --now #required for alarms to wake up device from suspend
• reboot or run /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-clocks.desktop

Usage

• This does not change the interface of gnome-clocks. As such, using it is exactly the same.
• To test waking from suspend:
  • launch gnome-clocks
  • set an alarm (i.e. for a minute from now)
  • suspend
  • Your device should wake up in short order for the alarm you just set

Replacing default sounds

As of this merge request, gnome-clocks no longer respects the sounds included in the provided sound theme. This PKGBUILD replaces the bundled defaults for the following reasons:

• The replacement sound files are pretty sweet (credit to the original artists)
• This pkgbuild can be used as a semi-convenient way of bundling your own sound files (since they are now compiled into the main binary)
• While the ability to customize the alarm sound is in progress, it seems the main dev working on that has stated it "won't happen in the near future" - this is provided as a workaround

Howto replace the sound files:

1. Clone this repo
2. Overwrite the included sound files with your own (make sure they are named the same)
3. Replace the b2sum hashes with "SKIP" in the PKGBUILD
4. Continue manual install steps
