The Debian Nix package causes flake builds to fail inside the test and container environment due to sandboxing and patched Nix behavior. To ensure consistent behaviour across all distributions and align container logic with production logic, pkgmgr now relies on its own `init-nix.sh` bootstrap script instead of the distro’s `nix` package. Dropping `Depends: nix` guarantees that both Debian containers and real Debian systems install and initialize Nix via the upstream installer, matching the behaviour on Arch, Fedora, and Ubuntu. https://chatgpt.com/share/693ab9bf-e6ac-800f-83ba-a4abd1bfe407
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.
