Howto add eyecandy in dom0: i3wm with compton + rofi (how to install?)

[[799]]

Hello,

I'd like to get some more eyecandy in dom0 and adapt my i3wm installation with installing rofi and compton.

rofi = replacement launcher for dmenu

https://github.com/DaveDavenport/rofi

compton = graphical effects/smooth animations/fading etc. when moving windows

https://github.com/chjj/compton

Unfortunately both packages are not available in the regular repositories and both applications need some dependencies:

https://github.com/chjj/compton/blob/master/README.md

https://github.com/DaveDavenport/rofi/blob/next/README.md

Can someone point me into a direction how can I install both apps in dom0 ?
I'm afraif that I need to manually download tons of packages and install those and still not all dependencies will be resolved - that's the point why we handle such tasks with package management.

Who is making the decision which packages will be available in the "official Qubes" (dom0) repositories.
