Package Saver


Release Language Size Licence OpenSource

Package Saver what is it ?

It's a tool to save packages you want to keep for your distro-hopping. They are all in a txt file, just need paste them after your reinstallation to have it back

What is automated ?

Currently the only automed thing is the detection and the parsing of your package manager (for the moment only pacman and apk are parsed and working, if you want you can help by adding a parsing and making a pull request).

A GUI is in work in progress build, check the GUI branch.

How to use it ?

If you want to use the command line

  1. Make sure you have the correct permission to use it

chmod 777 packageManager.sh

  1. Just run it and say yes or no if you want to keep this package (by default it's no so just need to write Y or y if you want to keep it)

./packageManager.sh

If you want to use the GUI

  1. Compile the project

make

  1. Run the programs, check packages you want to keeps, and after click on the "Save in a file" button.

./PackageSaver
