i like it.

hi mate @excalibur1234...

what does this command does?

Code: [Select]

pacman -Qet
i googled and did not find something satisfactory...

vlw fwi, Holmes

[oberon]

it seems to list your installed packages, doesn't it?

[oberon]

right: the arch wiki tells me that it lists the explicitly installed packages that are not needed by other dependencies 8-}
https://wiki.archlinux.de/title/Pacman
I'm afraid Google carried me to the German page, sorry!

[excalibur1234]

right: the arch wiki tells me that it lists the explicitly installed packages that are not needed by other dependencies 8-}

i agree.
it lists all packages (and their dependencies), which you have ever explicitly installed (using pacman or yaourt) and which are still on your system.
(this includes packages from the AUR.


this command came from tropper, i just documented it.

@oberon2007 and @excalibur1234,
thank you for orientations. now i understand...

vlw fwi, Holmes

[excalibur1234]

tropper, have you heard of yaourt-gui? it is very similar to pacli.

you can install it with

Code: [Select]

pacman -S yaourt-gui-manjaro

to start it, type "yaourt-gui" in your terminal.

here is the source code for it. i found it an interesting read:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/bash
# Yaourt-Gui is a bash gui for yaourt
#
# Creation-Date: 2011-02-28

holmes has changed (and updated?) something in the pacli script. look at his version here:
https://github.com/holmeslinux/Manjaro-JWM/blob/master/jwm-overlay/etc/skel/.pacli/pacli

in order to find the changes, i recommend to "diff" it.
unfortunately, i am not at a manjaro pc for a while, so i cannot do the "diff" myself...

hello @excalibur1234, the changes were more visual and also was giving a error command not found.

vlw fwi, Holmes

[Chrysostomus]

I also made some changes to the script, holmes version:
https://github.com/Chrysostomus/experimental/blob/master/pacli
I used pmenu in it, which allows you to select packages to be (un)installed in dmenu-like fashion. It really adds exgra layer of userfriendliness imho 

I plan on adding similar item to select packages to downgrade.

[eskaini]

wow this looks good

[Chrysostomus]

Anybody mind if I upload it to aur?

[excalibur1234]

Anybody mind if I upload it to aur?

well done.

i have seen you have modified pacli and added a "downgrade" option.
i really want to test this.

here is Chrysostomus' github address with the modified pacli:
https://github.com/Chrysostomus/pacli

[Chrysostomus]

If you wish to imprive it further, just submit a pullrequest and I'll be happy to merge it. Changes go straight to the aur package.
