Just adding some notes about building on Arch Linux. Shows which packages are necessary and gives a little info about how the pre-built packages are built.

Travis failure is unrelated and intermittent (#7463).

BTW for doc-only changes like this you can put [skip ci] in the pull request description (not in the title)

I think travis no longer fetches this from GitHub. You'd have to put it in the commit body.

Not sure if it makes sense to hardcode stuff like "v0.12.0" or "python2" as this will be outdated in one or two months.

Cool, I put [skip ci] in the commit body and it seems to have worked. I removed the reference to the tag (tags are around for a long time, but it was not important to what I was documenting so I removed it) and python2 and reworded things a little.

Why do you mention miniupnpc here?

mruddy commented at 11:40 AM on April 13, 2016:

didn't need it for what i was doing. this was just from my notes. that's all. i also use make -j 4 check (it saves a lot of time to run multiple jobs at once) but didn't want to try to describe how to get the number of non-hyperthreaded cores in a generalized way.
