      @Hex Those are great additions! Will you submit a PR?

        I think rpswap is also used in other Pi versions in RetroPie setup. Surely it's not mandatory but unless there's a clear drawback do we need to remove it?

          @pjft rpSwap does nothing if Ram > what is asked (512). Pi 1 and Zero are the only two that need rpSwap.

            @meleu I would submit it tomorrow morning. Its late here. Should I submit PR with version increment? Zeta or Epsilon?

              @Hex Epsilon, I didn't have time to implement the git tweaks yet. Planned to add it tomorrow.

              I'm now in the middle of a tweaking Carbon theme based on what we were talking about in the @TMNTturtlguy 's post :)

                @Hex regarding to rpSwap, I think RetroPie-Setup does a good job about deciding if it really needs more swap: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/helpers.sh#L285-L313

                But as we want to remove the dependence on those scripts, you can go ahead with your code.

                I promess I'll organize the script and let it more readable, modularized a easier to improve. ;-)

                      @Hex oh, I'm not in the same city as my raspi1...

                      Maybe @obsidianspider or @edmaul69 can help with this...

                        ASFAIK the only thing needed to change the default emulationstation is one single line on /usr/bin/emulationstation. The line that looks like this:

                        "/opt/retropie/supplementary/es_pjft_retropie-screensaver-merge/emulationstation.sh" "$@"
                        

                        We can remove the dependency very easily a simple sed trick can deal with it. :-)

                        I reused the code to finish a usable version of the script as soon as possible and don't lose the "timing" in the @Zigurana 's thread. :-)

                          To combine all of theme in one sentence you can have the command as such :
                          git pull || git merge --abort && git pull -X theirs

                          The || ensures that git merge --abort && git pull -X theirs only runs if git pull fails

                          Oops. It didn't work as expected. Look what I mean:

                          $ echo bla || echo ble && echo bli
                          bla
                          bli
                          

                          Got it?

                          But there's no problem, I adjusted it here:

                          if ! git pull; then
                              git merge --abort && git pull -X theirs
                          fi
                          

                          I'm making the git tweaks now (and creating my own version of gitPullOrClone), but you can still name your version as epsilon. :-)

                          edit: git tweaks done.

                          edit 2: I borrowed rpSwap code from RetroPie-Setup's helpers.sh, and now helpers.sh is not a dependency anymore.

                                    @meleu I would like to stick to Zeta version. My changes are taking more time than expected. I would like to include all changes you incorporate for Epsilon. If and only if Epsilon is not released by then, I shall drop down to Epsilon as version. Should I post it on my repository?

                                      I've been always using it on my Linux x86...

                                      @meleu I would like to stick to Zeta version.

                                      The current version is delta3(lower case), I go ahead for the next Greek letter when a new functionality is added. When adding tweaks and/or small fixes I just add a trailing sequential number.

                                      How do I go about submitting PRs. You have many scripts in single repo.

                                      Well, that repo should be a place for "small codes to share with friends or to make me remember some trick" as the description says. But as this script is getting a bit more serious, I've created another repo:

                                      https://github.com/meleu/rp-testers

                                      You can submit your PR there.

                                      Thanks!

                                        Feel free to merge changes. I am currently busy and unable to work on this. If I make any changes I shall commit there and let you know else fork your repo once you have merged changes so there is a single copy.

                                        EDIT : Also I have to mention that the correct word is to "skip" and not "omit" the make clean.

                                          @Hex Phew... What a relief! I thought you were hating me because I don't indent my code with tabs!

                                          Thanks for the English. tip ;-)
