Decker

A Package Restore Helper for the Steam Deck

Decker is a "Package Manager" (wrapper around Paru), that aims to restore user installed packages to the system, after a system upgrade.

Decker is distributed as an AppImage, allowing it to run easily, without installing any packages.

Decker saves package files downloaded to the cache, as well as pacman database entries, to it's own folders in the home directory (~/.local/share/decker and ~/.cache/decker), as well it also saves any dependencies of an installed package that are not already installed on the device. Decker, when the restore command is run, then restores first the database entries of the packages, then installs them once more, from the cached package file.

Getting Decker

Download the AppImage from the Github Releases, and mark it as executable.

chmod a+x Decker*.AppImage

  decker.rb help [COMMAND]     # Describe available commands or one specific command
