Pacup (Pacscript Updater) is a maintainer helper tool to help maintainers update their pacscripts. It semi-automates the tedious task of updating pacscripts, and aims to make it a fun process for the maintainer!
To install the latest release run:
$ pacstall -I pacup-bin # or pip install pacupTo install the latest development build run:
$ pip install git+https://github.com/pacstall/pacupUsage: pacup [OPTIONS] PACSCRIPTS...
Updates specified pacscripts.
If ship flag is passed, the pacscript will be prepared for shipping to upstream.
After the pacscript is prepared, it will be committed and pushed to the origin remote.
This requires you to be present in your cloned fork.

Suppose foo.pacscript is outdated.
On running pacup foo.pacscript Pacup will parse the pacscript's variables,
then it compiles a list of filters specified in the repology variable in the
pacscript. Then it queries the Repology API to get
all the repositories which have packaged that package. After which it applies
the filter to the response, and from the filtrate it considers the most common
version to be the latest.
Then it replaces all occurrences of the previous version's value in the url
with the latest one placeholder's value with the latest version, and downloads
the new package, and generates it's hash.
Then writes the edited pacscript and installs it with Pacstall, after installation it asks the user to confirm that the installed package works. On approval the pacscript is considered successfully upgraded and the program ends.
- Does not work with
-gitpacscripts as those pacscripts are auto updating. - Doesn't work if a pacscript doesn't have an equivalent Repology package.
