![trackmeet screenshot](screenshot.png "trackmeet")


## Usage

Choose meet folder and open:

	$ trackmeet

Open an existing track meet:

	$ trackmeet PATH

Create empty meet folder and open it:

	$ trackmeet --create

Edit default configuration:

	$ trackmeet --edit-default


## Support

   - Signal Group: [metarace](https://signal.group/#CjQKII2j2E7Zxn7dHgsazfKlrIXfhjgZOUB3OUFhzKyb-p_bEhBehsI65MhGABZaJeJ-tMZl)
   - Github Issues: [issues](https://github.com/ndf-zz/metarace-trackmeet/issues)


## Requirements

   - Python >= 3.11
   - PyGObject
   - Gtk >= 3.22
   - metarace >= 2.1.9
   - tex-gyre fonts (optional, recommended)
   - evince (optional, recommended)
   - rsync (optional)
   - mosquitto (optional)


## Automated Installation

For semi-automated installation on common unix-like
desktop systems, download the metarace install script
and run with sh:

	$ wget https://github.com/ndf-zz/metarace/raw/refs/heads/main/metarace-install.sh
	$ sh metarace-install.sh

For installation on Windows systems, a powershell script
is provided to install metarace applications under a
WSL Debian container:

	wget https://github.com/ndf-zz/metarace/raw/refs/heads/main/wsl-install.ps1


## Post-Installation Notes

Optionally configure defaults for new meets and library options:

	$ ~/Documents/metarace/venv/bin/trackmeet --edit-default


### Gnome Desktop

By default, Gnome uses a system font which does not have
fixed-width digits. As a result, rolling times displayed
in trackmeet will jiggle left and right as the digits change,
and right-aligned time columns will not align correctly
at the decimal point.

To correct this, install gnome-tweaks and change the
system font to one with fixed-width digits eg:
Noto Sans Regular.

Debugging messages can be viewed using journactl:

	$ journalctl -f

### XFCE

The XFCE default window manager uses function keys to switch
workspaces, rendering them inaccessible to trackmeet.
To use these function keys in trackmeet (eg for
reports, arming and reset), first clear the relevant
window manager shortcuts.

Under Settings, Window Manager, Keyboard, locate the
"Workspace N" entries and clear the shortcut for each one by
selecting the "Clear" button.

Roadmeet can be configured to open meet folders in Thunar
by creating a custom action with appearance conditions 
set to include "Directories". The action can then be
added to the toolbar or triggered from a context menu.

Following an automated install, you may need to log out
and back in for the menu entries to be properly updated.

Debugging messages are appended to ~/.xsession-errors,
view with tail:

	$ tail -f ~/.xsession-errors


## Manual Installation

Install system requirements for your OS (See
[System-Specific Preparation](#system-specific-preparaton)
below) then prepare a metarace runtime directory
and virtual env as follows:

	$ mkdir -p ~/Documents/metarace
	$ python3 -m venv --system-site-packages ~/Documents/metarace/venv

Install trackmeet to the virtual env, or run from
source using one of the following methods:


### Install From PyPI With Pip

Use pip in your virtual env to download and install
trackmeet along with any required python packages
from the Python Package Index:

	$ ~/Documents/metarace/venv/bin/pip3 install metarace-trackmeet

Create a new empty trackmeet:

	$ ~/Documents/metarace/venv/bin/trackmeet --create


### Install From Wheel

Download the trackmeet wheel from github and verify signature:

	$ wget https://github.com/ndf-zz/metarace-trackmeet/releases/download/v1.13.2/metarace_trackmeet-1.13.2-py3-none-any.whl
	$ wget https://github.com/ndf-zz/metarace-trackmeet/releases/download/v1.13.2/metarace_trackmeet-1.13.2-py3-none-any.whl.asc
	$ gpg --verify metarace_trackmeet-1.13.2-py3-none-any.whl.asc

Use pip in your virtual env to install the trackmeet wheel:

	$ ~/Documents/metarace/venv/bin/pip3 install ./metarace_trackmeet-1.13.2-py3-none-any.whl

Create a new empty trackmeet:

	$ ~/Documents/metarace/venv/bin/trackmeet --create


### Run From Source Tree

Activate the virtual env, optionally install
any required libraries, clone the repository
and run trackmeet directly:

	$ source ~/Documents/metarace/venv/bin/activate
	(venv) $ pip3 install metarace
	(venv) $ git clone https://github.com/ndf-zz/metarace-trackmeet.git
	(venv) $ cd metarace-trackmeet/src
	(venv) $ python3 -m trackmeet
