Pacman Tool

Simple python tool I'm working on that essentially acts as a bulk Pacman package manipulation tool. I wrote this cuz I got tired of manually searching and deleting all packages related to PipeWire for reinstallation.

NOTE: THIS IS ONLY INTENDED FOR ARCH AND ARCH-BASED LINUX DISTRIBUTIONS THAT USE PACMAN AS THEIR PRIMARY PACKAGE MANAGER. DO NOT POST ISSUES IF IT DOES NOT WORK ON A NON-ARCH-BASED DISTRO, FIND A DIFFERENT TOOL.

Installation

1. Ensure you have Python 3.7 or later installed. Check with python --version. (Newer is preferred.)
2. Clone the repository:git clone https://github.com/teej1469/pacman-tool, cd pacman-tool
3. Run install.py (python3 ./install.py) script and follow the prompts.

TODO

• Create an installer
• Migrating all text in__main.py__ to__pacman_tool__.message
• Come up with a better name
• Built-in update/uninstall.
• Full system update/upgrade on dry run (Like withyay)
• (Maybe) AUR support
• (Maybe) Complete rewrite in Rust :)
