It looks like PacMan, but it's not!

Add as many third party repositories as you want into the new "neodb" configuration file!

Converted the "neodb" script from the previous version into a simple configuration file, here it is in its minimal form:

#STATUS=quiet

[My generic repository name]
Source=https://your-domain.net/apps
List=https://your-domain.net/x86_64-apps
Markdowns=https://your-domain.net/info

Which options use the above values?

  • Source is used by -i/install and -d/download
  • List is used by -l/list and -q/query
  • Markdowns is used by -a/about (NOTE, this is still not implemented in version 6.4, it can be ignored for now)

#STATUS=quiet instead is called by "AM"/"AppMan", if uncommented, you will not receive any notification message about using a third-party database

Where should I place the "neodb" file?

The "$AMPATH" variable that you often find in the CLI and in modules indicates the path:

  • For "AM" the path is always /opt/am;
  • For "AppMan" instead is the "appman" directory into the path you decided to install the apps in your "$HOME", for example, if you've choosen "Applications", then the path will be $HOME/Applications/appman

Changes in modules:

All depends on your neodb configuration file:

  • Options -i/install and -d/download can now install/download from multiple sources, not just the 1960 installation scripts available since I published this release. If the app you've choosen is doubled (i.e. its available in more repositories) you'll receive a prompt similar to the one available in -o/overwrite and --rollback, so choose a number to select what URL to use;
  • Options -l/list and -q/query can now list all non-doubled results from all repositories you add;
  • Also the availability of the "neodb" configuration file is no more a limitation to install libraries, in no module.

NOTE: this new release's feature lacks of support for -a/about, however a "Markdowns" value in neodb is recommended for future implementations.
