pacpak

A pacman wrapper to manage installed flatpaks with pacman.

Install

Build using cargo (in the root directory of this project):

export CARGO_TARGET_DIR=target
cargo build --locked

Install either using cargo or copy ./target/debug/pacpak into your path manually.

To install the deprecated bash branch, just put pacpak.sh into your path as pacpak and make it executable.

There might also be packages for you:

Usage

Use it just like pacman (Not all args are supported!)
(There are some settings that can be customized. See struct Config.)

TODO

There is lots I want to add. PR/issues are very welcome.
to implement:

• Qo (file owned by what package) - works kinda
• Ql (list package files) - works
• Q[u|t|s|] (can be upgraded|orphans|search names/descriptions)
• S (install) - works (prefers pacman over flatpaks)
• S[s|u] (search packages|upgrade)
• Si (package information (from online?))
• R[s|n] (remove: also dependecies|remove config files) - R works (is currenly doing Rs)
• deal with fullnames of operations (eg. --query) - works through clap (I think)
• some more tricky Qi-fields
• cache for flatpak list|info (paths?) to speed things up (prob best to write a libray to directly interface with OSTree)

I want to handle:

Q[ilo]

info/list files/owns file
flatpak [list|info]
flatpak info --show-runtime --show-extensions <app-id> (shows dependecies)

R[ns]

flatpak uninstall

S[yus]

flatpak update
flatpak search (very slow)

F?

not sure yet, I dont really use it

V

upstream?

I think the flatpak cli can be better for interacting with a script, what is needed?

• better list: json?, seperated list?
• info: list multiple if unclear? or make more script friendly
• list branches/arches of an appid
• list extended appID (appID/branch/arch)?
• show duplication of appid easily?
• search could be faster: indexing, local first?, only local option?
