ppkg

A package manager written in Rust.<br> It will initially be a binary package manager, but I plan on making it a hybrid.

About the name: ppkg / Phate's Package Manager is a double entendre. Surely you can figure it out. ;)

If anyone wants a package added, just let me know.<br> Issues, PRs, or even just messages on any platforms I'm on are appreciated!

Prerequisites:

• mkdir -pv "$HOME/.ppkg/{downloads,opt}"
• cp config.toml $HOME/.ppkg/

Current list of packages:

• Discord
• FileZilla
• Firefox
• Github CLI
• Pale Moon

Current list of commands:

• --help
• -i, --install
• list
  • -a, --available (list packages available to download/install)
  • -i, --iinstalled

How it works:

• The tarball is downloaded to $HOME/.ppkg/downloads
• The tarball is extracted to $HOME/.ppkg/opt/$PKG_NAME

When I figure out how I want to do it, binaries will be symlinked to $HOME/.ppkg/bin/$BINARY.

Outputs

$ ppkg -i "Pale Moon" (the output will be similar for each package, I'll be using Pale Moon as an example)

File to download: 'palemoon-28.17.0.linux-x86_64-gtk2.tar.xz'
Will be located at: '"/home/valley/.ppkg/downloads/palemoon-28.17.0.linux-x86_64-gtk2.tar.xz"'

Finished extracting!

Some packages supports multiple arches, in which case you get an interaction like this:

$ ppkg -i "Firefox" (the second line is user input)

This package supports 32-bit and 64-bit, please choose a version. (x32 or x64)
x64
