What's Changed

This feature release adds support for rustup, the Rust toolchain manager, and xbps, the Void Linux package manager. Be aware that rustup packages are quite a bit different than other pacdef packages. Thank you @InnocentZero and @Book-reader!

You can now also finish a review early once you have reviewed a couple of packages by using the new a(p)ply option for pacdef package review. Thank you @mike-lloyd03.

Furthermore, we now start distributing binary versions for all feature-flagged backends, thanks to @thechubbypanda!

Rust users will also find that $CARGO_HOME is now respected. Thank you @danbluhmhansen.

Changelog

Documentation

• README: MSRV 1.70.0

It is now possible to export groups that were created using pacdef group new or created manually. This enables the user to save a group in a more centralized place, like his dotfiles repo.

Changelog

Features

• add pacdef group export. See man pages and README.md.

Bug Fixes

• rust: handle missing crates file

Documentation

• README: link to topgrade
• core: docstrings

• add release checklist

Miscellaneous Tasks

• cliff: update config
• update subcrate repository urls

Refact

• core: remove get_group_file_paths...
• core: manual let else
• core: simplify valid group name check
• main: create_empty_config_file
• use clone instead to_owned
• replace match with if let else
• unncessary wraps

This patch release adds man pages: pacdef.8 and pacdef.yaml.5.

Version 1.2.1 is a quality of life update that fixes some small bugs and improves code quality.

Changelog

Bug Fixes

• arg parsing
• remove dbg statement
• 'not a symlink' warning: the warning is now only shown when the setting is enabled (default true), the group file is not a symlink, and it does not reside under any symlinked directory below the main group folder. #33

Documentation

• core: docstrings
• group: fix docstring

Features

• warn about missing group only when relevant: We now defer the check to when we actually need some content in the groups #31

Refact

• core: remove stale lint config
• overhaul arg parsing
• core: arg destructuring

Version 1.2.0 adds support for nested group directories. If you have a complex group structure nested in multiple folders, you can now import the outermost folder instead of importing every file one by one.

Changelog

• Don't overwrite config file: when any part of the config was invalid, it was overwritten entirely
• Remove dbg statement

34d7b5d9deb93ee1c40f080166ce674c19560a2f fix: build when git not installed

This major release features a lot of new features!

• We now support not only Arch Linux, but have extended pacdef to support in principle any package manager. Now you can keep your Rust, Python and Debian installations in sync!
• Breaking change: the config and group file syntax was changed. See the README here and here.
• Pacdef was rewritten entirely in Rust! This increases the performance by quite a bit.

new features:

• pacdef new [--edit]: create a new group file instead of importing one
• proper packaging: now requires pip to install
• regex-based search for packages
