pellets
A declarative pacman wrapper for Arch Linux to manage installed packages with a single configuration file
Hello! A while back I made pellets as a way of keeping track what I installed on my system so that I could clean up things I didn't need anymore. It also made setting up a new machine much quicker. Really what I wanted was something like Nix, but I went on a very long saga trying to use it as a package manager with Arch and it was... not viable. So I made pellets as a middle-ground: it's just a simple bash wrapper around pacman and doesn't demand complete control, but you can use a configuration file to keep your packages synchronized to a desired state. It also prunes old dependencies. I've been using it for over a year now and am really happy with the result.

And if anyone is curious, this is roughly what my config looks like: https://github.com/dpatti/dotfiles/blob/master/.config/pellets/packages

Cool project! Have you explored pacdef? It seems to be that blessed middle ground between Arch and Nix.

Fair enough. I've also had a couple of programs which weren't packaged already, fortunately it's quite easy to do so most of the time (or to just fall back to a distrobox container or flatpak in the worst case). If you decide to try it out, nix-1p and Nix Pills were great resources for me to get familiar with Nix and NixOS in a short time-span.

What's the difference between this and https://github.com/CyberShadow/aconfmgr ?
