decpac's Issues

Does decpac handle AUR?

Not actually an issue but i didn't see any mention of this. I had been thinking of building something similar because of Nix but this looks pretty good.

readme.md not uploaded to pypi?

Install doesn't work via pypi:

% pip install decpac
Collecting decpac

[crash] decpac crashes when pacman -Qm gives no results

Original support thread: https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,1586.0.html

pacman -Q has an exit status of 1 when no results are returned, and this causes decpac to crash here. There are several other places in the script where this might occur.

Can the code be made more resilient to this?

How does decpac determine what goes in the conf file?

This may not be a bug. I noticed earlier today that curl was missing from the decpac.conf

Embed AUR helper using pkgbuilder

Requires ARCH dep python-pyalpm

Doing pkgbuilder.utils.info(['aur_package_name'])[0].depends lists dependencies.

It looks like it can also do downloading, building and installation.

The rough workflow would be:

1. Install official selected packages
2. Do a depth first walk of selected AUR package dependencies (run, build, check) and see if they're installed/official/aur.
3. Install official AUR dependency packages
4. Install AUR packages in order based on crawl, mark as dependency/explicit

Install Ruby packages

Packages marked as (ruby) or (gem) or something like that should be installed as Arch packages via gem2arch.

Install npm packages

Packages marked (npm) or (node) or similar should be installed with npm2arch.
