This commit updates all GitHub Actions workflows and the Makefile to ensure
consistent behavior across unit, integration, end-to-end, and OS-container
tests.
Changes include:
CI Workflows:
- Rename workflows for clearer, more professional naming:
* "Test Distribution Containers" → "Test OS Containers"
* "Test package-manager (e2e)" → "Test End-To-End"
* "Test package-manager (unit)" → "Test Units"
* "Test package-manager (integration)" → "Test Code Integration"
- Remove explicit build steps from workflows; container creation is now
delegated to the Makefile via build-missing.
- Restrict test jobs to only build the Arch test container by setting:
DISTROS="arch"
Makefile:
- Add build-missing as a dependency to all test targets:
test-unit, test-integration, test-e2e, test-container
- Remove redundant build-missing call from the combined 'test' target,
since Make now ensures build-missing runs exactly once per invocation.
- Preserve existing target structure while ensuring container images are
built automatically on demand.
This makes the CI pipeline faster, more predictable, and removes duplicated
container build logic. All tests now use the same unified mechanism for
building missing images.
- Enable test matrix for arch, debian, ubuntu, fedora, centos
- Mount /nix Docker volume only on Arch so image-local Nix installs remain visible on other distros
- Keep shared Nix cache volume for all distros

- Add pyproject.toml to define package-manager as a Python application
- Declare setuptools build backend (setuptools.build_meta) and wheel
- Expose CLI entrypoint via [project.scripts] as `pkgmgr = pkgmgr.cli:main`
- Define PyYAML as a base runtime dependency
- Update flake.nix to build pkgmgr via python311Packages.buildPythonApplication
- Use format = "pyproject" and src = ./. (current git checkout)
- Add setuptools and wheel to nativeBuildInputs for the backend
- Add pyyaml to propagatedBuildInputs to match pyproject dependencies
- Provide a devShell that includes the built pkgmgr, git, and Ansible
- Expose `nix run .#pkgmgr` and `nix run .#default` as flake apps
- Fix Makefile install target for Nix shells
- Treat install as a no-op when IN_NIX_SHELL is set (skip venv / pip)
- In non-Nix environments, create ~/.venvs/pkgmgr, install deps, and
wire automatic activation into shell rc files
- Keep Arch/Manjaro-specific aur_builder/yay setup behind pacman check
- Adjust PKGBUILD prepare() to correctly copy the full project tree
- Stop excluding the top-level src directory from rsync
- Still exclude .git, .github, pkg, and srcpkg
This unifies the installation workflow across Arch, Nix, and local venvs,
and ensures pkgmgr builds cleanly inside the Docker-based Nix devShell tests.

- Add .dockerignore rules to prevent Arch package artifacts from entering the build context
- Rework Dockerfile to remove stale package artifacts before makepkg and use a dev entry script
- Introduce docker-entry-dev.sh to always rebuild pkgmgr from the mounted /src tree
- Update Makefile 'test' target to rebuild pkgmgr inside the container before running tests
- Fix predictable makepkg failures caused by residual *.pkg.tar.* files

- Added aur_builder_setup target to Makefile
- Automatically detects Arch/Manjaro via pacman
- Creates aur_builder user and group with sudoers permissions
- Installs yay if not already present
- Skips AUR setup gracefully on non-Arch systems
