Concepts

Config

In python, using functions and args for them

Packages config

Repos

• Just use pacman with the list

AUR

Users can choose to either use yay (less secure, but easier, using archmgr.pkgs.aur.add_aur_helper_package, does not do any checks on the PKGBUILDs) or Explicit management:

• User provides package (by creating archmgr.pkgs.aur.AURPackage class) and adding its AUR deps. Other deps are resolved automatically
• Send the package class to the manager using archmgr.pkgs.aur.add_aur_package
• In the future will provide a function that will do the dep resolution automatically.
• For each and its deps, it will analyze the PKGBUILD for common malware issues. Also add option to display all PKGBUILDs before building

Commands

• Run the command on the specified hook

Templates

• Use pystache to replace elements

Themes

• Use python-colorthief to extract palette
• Add those as named elements to the templates list

Modules

• Packages function (can be overridden to return the packages)
• AUR helper packages function (can be overriden to return the packages)
• Custom AUR packages function (can be overriden to return the packages)
• on_enable

Apply

• Diff the package list, adding the registered AUR packages to the list as well (so they are not uninstalled)
