  • pellets: manage your packages with a configuration file
    5 projects | /r/archlinux | 6 Nov 2022
    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.
