AUR package

[an-prata]

The AUR package miniplayer-git was orphaned and so I'm now its maintainer. The AUR install with yay (and probably any other helper) does work normally now without assuming dependencies are installed. Apologies in advance if you don't want AUR stuff here or if this is the wrong way of saying this, I didn't this an issue would be correct.

Thanks,
Evan

Thank you so much! 🧡

I'll be in touch regarding updated dependancies when v2 gets close to release.

Small AUR change that might want to be known: pixcat doesn't remove its temporary files, so running miniplayer for a long time will saturate the resource, crashing miniplayer and preventing it from opennig properly for one but also prevent other programs from working correctly (i.e. rustc cannot build a project). This is resolved manually by running rm /tmp/.pixcat-*, but I also forked pixcat and added some cleanup. I made a PR but my hopes of it being merged are low, the author has been innactive for some time, so for the time being the AUR package will use my fork (AUR: python-pixcat-an-prata) and save everyone's tmpfs from saturation.

To quickly see what I mean just open miniplayer and in another terminal run ls /tmp/.pixcat-* | wc a few times, the number of files goes up fast.

Note that for this change to take effect you may have to remove the user installation of pixcat, the fork is version bumped so you can check by seeing if the version is 0.1.5 rather than 0.1.4. A manual installation of the package through pip will likely take precidence over the AUR package.
