decapt 0.0.2

Arch Linux declarative package management

# Simple declarative package management ## For Debianish Linux

Declarative package management means you make a file containing everything you want installed, and the package manager adds/removes to make the system match that. It’s good if you happen to install lots of random programs and forget to remove them until you forgot whether they were important to have installed or not in the first place!

1. pip install decapt

2. decapt generate

3. Modify decapt.luxem

4. Update your system with decapt

## Features

• Manage snap packages

• Manage manual debian packages Add an entry like { name: mypackage, path: ~/debs/mypackage } where there’s a build.sh script in path which creates a mypackage.deb in path.
