One `makepkg -si` from packaging/test-pack/ builds and installs both peerspeak and pixelpass from the public gitbutter repos over https, so a tester can clone the repo and get a working voice+screenshare pair in one command. pixelpass installs to /usr/bin so peerspeak's screen-share button finds it.

PeerSpeak + PixelPass — CachyOS/Arch test pack
A single split PKGBUILD that builds the latest code from the public gitbutter repos and installs both programs at once:
peerspeak— decentralized P2P voice chatpixelpass— P2P screen sharing (peerspeak launches it for the screen-share button)
Build & install (one command)
git clone https://gitbutter.xyz/mollusk/peerspeak.git
cd peerspeak/packaging/test-pack
makepkg -si
makepkg -si auto-installs every dependency via pacman before building —
including the Rust toolchain itself (the cargo makedepend is provided by the
rust package), git, pkgconf, pipewire + opus for peerspeak, and the
gstreamer/VA-API stack for pixelpass. The only prerequisite is the base-devel
group (which provides makepkg). If you already use rustup, that satisfies the
cargo makedepend and the rust package won't be pulled in — no conflict.
When it finishes you'll have peerspeak and pixelpass on your PATH at
/usr/bin. To rebuild later with fresh upstream code, re-run makepkg -si; the
git sources re-pull main and the version bumps automatically.
Skip the test step with
makepkg -si --nocheckfor a faster build.
Running the cross-internet test
- Launch
peerspeakon both machines. - One person creates a room and shares the room code/ticket with the other.
- The other joins with that code.
- iroh does NAT hole-punching automatically; if a direct path can't be made it falls back to a public n0 relay — no port forwarding required.
- Allow the app through any local firewall if prompted (outbound UDP / QUIC; nothing needs to be opened inbound for relay mode).
What we're smoke-testing
- Two real humans, two networks, over the internet.
- Mic capture + remote playback both directions, no crackle/dropouts.
- Mute / deafen, push-to-talk.
- Text chat in-room.
- Avatars (presets + custom upload) show up on the other side.
- Screen share: click the screen-share control → it launches
pixelpass; the viewer opens inmpvon the receiving side. - Notification chimes (join/leave/etc.).
- Leave / rejoin cleanly.
