Declarative Pacman Wrapper

Wraps Arch's pacman based on a .ini file containing a list of packages.

The packages file lives by default in $HOME/.config/dpw/packages.ini, and if it doesn't exist, it may be created upon executing the script for the first time using your currently installed packages.

It supports comments using #, either on the start or the middle of the line, for example:

### gui
kitty
nautilus-open-any-terminal # kitty

Uses paru by default, but it can be easily changed by modifying the PACMAN variable.

Installation

Move the script to a place in your PATH.

Usage

There are no arguments. Upon execution it removes non-declared packages, install newly declared packages and does a system upgrade.
