Installer for archlinux written in bash script

lemon's Issues

Implement dependency handling for AUR packages which have AUR packages as dependencies

Currently, if an AUR package has non-official packages as dependencies, it will simply fail. This is, naturally, not ideal. This also impacts aurtool.

Todo: Unmount mounted partitions if lemon is interrupted / fails

Currently, if lemon successfully mounts partitions but fails or is interrupted at a later point, these partitions remain mounted causing lemon to fail on subsequent runs without either manually unmounting these partitions or restarting the device. This can be remedied by keeping a list of partitions mounted by lemon in a separate file in /tmp/ and having lemon check for the presence of that file on launch, unmounting mounted partitions contained within it if so.

AUR package installer cannot write to log

Bizzare issue that popped up as of the newer arch install isos. Even with sudo, the unprivileged user used to install aur packages is unable to write to the log due to permission denied. Attempted to work around by having aur installer write to a local log in /home/aur, then have lemonaid copy its contents to the main log if present. Didn't work. Bash is angry with me and I've come to believe I've personally angered Brian Fox.

Add conf option to specify preferred editor

Currently, lemon will default on nano if it is present and vim if it is not. This can easily be a conf option.

Add menu to change config options

Editing lemon.conf by hand works just fine, but isn't exactly user friendly. I want to add a menu within lemon to change opts to enabled or disabled simply and concisely without having to edit anything.

Add view + clear data to main partition menu

This exists in the additional mount menu, but not the main part menu.

Add support for init systems besides systemd

This one is self explanatory. Even though systemd probably covers about 90% of all installs, some of you hipster edgelords like to deviate for one reason or another.

Todo: check if drive exists in formatter

Currently the formatter trusts the user to be correct. If the user happens to make a typo and not notice it (eg, typing /dev/sdaa1 instead of /dev/sda1) it will proceed without checking and fail.

Add conf option to specify how many mirrors reflector should sort

Currently, reflector mirror sorting sorts 50 mirrors. This is a good number in my opinion, but can be cumbersome on speed. This number should be easily adjustable by the end user without having to edit the script.

Add conf option to specify partitioner

Currently the end user is locked into using fdisk for partition setup. This could easily be remedied with a config option.
