Every time I started the service, it would just fail with a core dump. After rebuilding it with some debugging information, I discovered that the error was "could not connect to display" because $DISPLAY was not set. I fixed this by adding Environment=DISPLAY=:0 to the unit file, but I realized in this pursuit that starting it with systemd was kind of a bad idea because it relies on X. Now I just start it with twmnd & in ~/.xinitrc. The author even considers service deprecated.

@chestm007: I personally don't run twmn as a service, but that seems to make sense (and is slightly more secure, anyways). I've pushed the change and bumped the pkgver as well.

is /usr/lib/systemd/service/twmnd.service supposed to be in /usr/lib/systemd/user/twmnd.service? after moving the unit file to there and enabling the unit systemctl --user start twmnd it worked, but as a system service is wasnt recieving notifications.

@cyrozap: Brilliant, thanks!

@Ophion It just needs a recompile so it gets linked with the new version of the boost library.

Just in case anyone else needs a rebuild, I've bumped the pkgrel.

After the last libboost update I'm getting this error: twmnc: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_program_options.so.1.65.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I guess something inside twmn needs an update?

I would suggest adding the --abbrev=7 flag to the git describe command in the pkgver function of the PKGBUILD. This in order to not always get out-of-date package for us who have set a custom sha1 abbrev length (core.abbrev) to 12 recommended by the Linux development guidelines. Thank you for your consideration and the maintenance of this PKGBUILD.

@j.kienzle I've updated the pkgver, but please note that *-git (and other *-vcs) packages don't typically update on every commit.

There have been two new commits. https://github.com/sboli/twmn/commits/master

It would be nice if you could also include twmnd.service into the deploy.
