In GitHub's Fedora-based CI containers the directory /nix may already exist
(e.g. from the base image or a previous build layer) and is often owned by
root:root. In this situation the Nix single-user installer aborts with:
"directory /nix exists, but is not writable by you"
This caused the container build to fail during `init-nix.sh`, leaving no
working `nix` binary on PATH. As a result, the runtime wrapper
(pkmgr-wrapper.sh) reported:
"[pkgmgr-wrapper] ERROR: 'nix' binary not found on PATH."
Local runs did not show the issue because a previous installation had already
created /nix with correct ownership.
This commit makes container-mode Nix initialization fully idempotent:
• If /nix does not exist → create it with owner nix:nixbld (existing logic).
• If /nix exists but has wrong owner/group → forcibly chown -R nix:nixbld.
• A warning is emitted if /nix remains non-writable after correction.
This guarantees that the Nix installer always has writable access to /nix
and prevents the installer from aborting in CI. As a result, `pkgmgr --help`
works again inside Fedora CI containers.

Package Manager🤖📦
Kevins's Package Manager is a configurable Python tool designed to manage multiple repositories via Bash. It automates common Git operations such as clone, pull, push, status, and more. Additionally, it handles the creation of executable wrappers and alias links for your repositories.
Features 🚀
-
Installation & Setup:
Create executable wrappers with auto-detected commands (e.g.main.shormain.py). -
Git Operations:
Easily performgit pull,push,status,commit,diff,add,show, andcheckoutwith extra parameters passed through. -
Configuration Management:
Manage repository configurations via a default file (config/defaults.yaml) and a user-specific file (config/config.yaml). Initialize, add, delete, or ignore entries using subcommands. -
Path & Listing:
Display repository paths or list all configured packages with their details. -
Custom Aliases:
Generate and manage custom aliases for easy command invocation.
Installation ⚙️
Clone the repository and ensure your ~/.local/bin is in your system PATH:
git clone https://github.com/kevinveenbirkenbach/package-manager.git
cd package-manager
Install make and pip if not installed yet:
pacman -S make python-pip
Then, run the following command to set up the project:
make setup
The make setup command will:
- Make
main.pyexecutable. - Install required packages from
requirements.txt. - Execute
python main.py installto complete the installation.
Docker Quickstart 🐳
Alternatively to installing locally, you can use Docker: build the image with
docker build --no-cache -t pkgmgr .
or alternativ pull it via
docker pull kevinveenbirkenbach/pkgmgr:latest
and then run
docker run --rm pkgmgr --help
Usage 📖
Run the script with different commands. For example:
- Install all packages:
pkgmgr install --all - Pull updates for a specific repository:
pkgmgr pull pkgmgr - Commit changes with extra Git parameters:
pkgmgr commit pkgmgr -- -m "Your commit message" - List all configured packages:
pkgmgr config show - Manage configuration:
pkgmgr config init pkgmgr config add pkgmgr config edit pkgmgr config delete <identifier> pkgmgr config ignore <identifier> --set true
