Description

#1783 discusses removing AUR-dependencies if possible. Right now, Arch-users using this project's dotfiles will install grimblast (used for screenshots) from the AUR while other distros build directly from source. Given we already have the logic in place to install grimblast fresh for all other distros, we can extend this to grimblast as well.

Changes

  • Removed grimblast-git as an Arch-distro dependency
  • [X} Updated post-arch.sh to query pacman for grimblast-git, and if not found download and build grimblast from source.

How Has This Been Tested?

Hasn't been tested end-to-end, but will post in #1783 to see if reporter can assist with testing.

  • Tested on Arch Linux/Based Distro.
  • Tested on Fedora Linux/Based Distro.
  • Tested on openSuse.

#1792 provides most of these changes, so I modified the PR to just check for grimblast-git being installed/managed before attempting to install from source.
