This script fixes the problem described in: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/445977/pgfplots-matrix-plot-perfect-rectangles

The script needs pdftk to be available on the path.

Then you can run it with:

$ python fix_figure.py -i input_file.pdf -o fixed_file.pdf

This creates a "virtualenv" for R that can be setup through the command line and that works with Rscript (which packrat doesn't (easily)).

Basic usage:

$ mkdir -p ./rlibs
$ bash R_setup.sh Rpackages.txt ./rlibs

where Rpackages.txt is a file with one package per line, for example:

This is a patch to fix the nextcloud client compilation instructions with Qt5. This avoids the Unknown CMake command "qt5_use_modules" error. See nextcloud/desktop#376 for details.

To use this patch:

• Save the patch below as /tmp/client.patch
• Download the package snapshot from the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nextcloud-client/
• Unpack the nextcloud-client.tar.gz file and change directory into the nextcloud-client directory
• Open the PKGBUILD file for editing
• After line 28 of the PKGBUILD file, as the last line of the prepare() section, add: git apply /tmp/client.patch
• Continue installation as normal (makepkg -si)
