pepv (Pedrito's Epic Pacman Viewer)

A GTK3 program designed to inspect your locally installed packages using the pacman package manager

Features

• Search using package name or/and description
• Filter by explicitly installed or dependencies
• Filter either by packages in the AUR or in official repos
• All of the filters above work together!
• Show how many packages are installed and shown
• View how many dependencies and files each package has
• View super detailed package info and its files

Featuresn't

• No uninstalling packages
• No installing packages
• No updating packages

Why?

• Because i want this program only to work as a viewer, everything regarding actually messing with your system should be in your own hands with you knowing what you are doing instead of me deciding what packages stay and go blindly

Building

• git clone this repository

• Open a terminal in the directory of the repo and run the next commands

• mkdir build && cd build

• cmake ..

• cmake --build . --config Release

• pepv needs the files pepv.ui and pepv.png to be somewhere it can find them together, list of paths is in order

  • ../pepv.ui Only in debug build for debug purposes
  • pepv.ui
  • /usr/share/pepv/pepv.ui
  • /app/share/pepv/pepv.ui
  • /app/share/runtime/share/pepv/pepv.ui
  • /run/host/user-share/pepv/pepv.ui
  • /run/host/share/pepv/pepv.ui

• If you want you can also resize the logo to multiple resolutions and put the images in usr/share/icons/hicolor/SIZExSIZE/apps/pepv.png so GTK chooses the correct resolution automatically

I dont know how to code but i want to use this program.

• Follow the instructions above, you dont need to understand them
• If you are scared of basic computer usage then you can wait for someone to package this program in your arch-based distro and i may add it in this readme
