Add xbps setup

Describe alternatives you've considered
Manually search for all required dependencies, the command looks like

sudo xbps-install python3-pyqt6-webengine python3-pyqt6 python3-pyqt6-sip qt6-multimedia qt6-svg wmctrl nodejs libvdpau-va-gl

@scipunch Hi

You need checkout

emacs-application-framework/install-eaf.py

Line 124 in 4310ecd

def install_sys_deps(distro: str, deps_list):

Add xbps-install support, then apply patch to EAF's dependencies.json, not just emacs-application-framework, all EAF application's should check.

Thank you for your help.

I've been tinkering here and got issues with installing python packages system wide which don't exist in void repository (e.g. sexpdata)

Also I've seen comment like this:

emacs-application-framework/install-eaf.py

Lines 328 to 335 in 4310ecd

	# For pip dependencies, the distribution name takes precedence over the os name.
	#
	# For example, in Arch Linux, we need install PyQt from Arch repository to instead install from PIP repository
	# to make EAF browser support HTML5 video:
	#
	# rm -rf ~/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/PyQt6*
	# sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/PyQt6*
	# sudo pacman -S python-pyqt6-webengine python-pyqt6 python-pyqt6-sip

I'm thinking about creating special virtual environment and use it to install all required deps, which could be easily done with uv / poetry / pip. I'm sure that I'm not the first one who thought about it, what's blocked this kind of solution in the beginning?

If this question stayed unexplored, then I'm ready to dive deeper in it and come back with POC

sexpdata is pip package

[scipunch]

Yes, the point is to use pip to install all dependencies instead of installing them through the Linux distro's package manager. This will be the unified way for all systems. (QT deps and any other possible required package like sexpdata)

Instead of configuring dependencies.json for each system, I offer ot use requirements.txt and simply do pip install -r requirements.txt. This approach will allow us to clearly see the versions of packages, easily manage them, and avoid interfering with system packages.

[manateelazycat]

No, if we install pyqt from pip, ArchLinux can't support HTML5 video, because it need compile with system's ffmpeg.

That's why need install some package from system repo.
