[FEATURE] Add yay/paru detection to Arch package update script

Open thorrrr opened this issue 7 months ago • 4 comments

Describe the bug

After removing the old version ml4w-git which worked great! The new dotfiles which IMHO a lot more messy to install but sure there must be reasons for it . But it has broken the updates/terminal module on waybar this still pops up but clicking it crashes the module and closes it!

Steps to reproduce

No error displayed just shuts down

Expected behavior

It works like before goes into terminal mode

Screenshots

No response

Distribution

Arch Linux

If Other, specify

No response

Additional context

Also just a suggestions i think the script installing dotfiles takes no account of previous users on the git versions. It could have a script to move over old settings / backup and provide details where it is shoving them. Plus wipe clean the old areas / paths of code no longer needed to make it cleaner.

Thanks for testing. I can't replicate the issue on my system. When I click on the Update Module in Waybar, kitty opens and asked to run the update.

Fixed it i use paru and the aur.sh wants yay used to have an option of both paru or yay but dotfiles forces yay now i think

Ahhh… OK. I will check if I can add a yay/paru detection. Thanks for your feedback and testing.
