Quick fix to show difference in committed and installed
packages in the commit editor window again.
Due to Arch moving the base-devel package from a group
to a meta-package we can not just remove all packages
that are in the group anymore - it will simply error
out instead. This removes the check and thus provides
a quick and dirty fix for the time being.
Split the lists into two, with testing getting automatically updated on
packages added (and removed, but only if the package to be removed is
*not* in stable packages already).
This way, I can always be sure that I have my stable setup in the
repository, but packages that I am temporarily testing have a place
without being forgotten and I can more easily change them around until
they find a place in stable or get thrown out.
Package list is now a single tab separated list. That should make
several automations in the future much simpler.
The table is built as follows:
`Name Description Source Target`
with one line per package. Source denotes official repositories or AUR,
and target is kept for future potential of creating different
deployments per target automatically (e.g. different package list for
desktop and server, and so on).
There is an updater script `bootstrap/update_package_list.sh` which will
automatically populate the table, removing uninstalled packages, adding
new ones and (making its best attempt to be) keeping the selected
targets as they are.
The git commit hook comparing installed and committed packages has also
been rewritten to use the new table and be a little simpler overall.
Fixes#2.
Removed outdated `syu` symlink which just hooks into topgrade.
Replaced it with simple function that tries for topgrade, paru, yay,
pacman, in that order. Can still be invoked with simple `syu` command,
but *only* through interactive terminal use.
Switched git pre-commit hook to default to paru instead of yay when
compiling installed package lists for dotfile commits.
Fixed paths to images for new repository dotfile delineation. Added
quick readme blurb explaining differece of normal and dotfile
directories.
Readme still explained old bare-repository directory structure. Rewrote
sentences to conform to new structure.
Removed underscore from bootstrap directory, since the repository does
not organize itself through underscore prefixes anymore.
Fixed package gathering git-hook to respect new bootstrap directory.
When moving to commit, this hook will automatically fire and check the
current system's installed packages against those explicitly committed
to the repository. If they mismatch it will inform the user.
It will not prevent the commit, but simply add a comment at the top of
the commit messages to remind the user that something is unbalanced
between both. It would be recommended to either check the additional
package into source control, remove it from the current system, or
explicitly add it to ignored packages.
