Pacboy

A simple library manager to handle my custom C libraries, to copy them as needed

How it works

You create a folder name ~/.local/share/paclibs, you put one folder for each library you need, each folder containing the necessaries C and header files.

Then you run pacboy <the name of the folder> <path/to/where/it/will/be/pasted>

The content of the folder will be copied, not the folder itself

Database

Optionnally, you can use a database, which is a distant git repository containing the ~/.local/share/paclibs folder on a branch named mirror. You can configure this by running apcboy --change-config and entering your url, or mine if you just want a general database : https://github.com/Greensky-gs/paclibs-database. If you use mine, just make sure you run pacboy -P to get the latest changes

Installation

PKGBUILD (archlinux)

curl -o PKGBUILD https://git.greensky.tf/Greensky/pacboy/raw/branch/master/PKGBUILD && makepkg -sicCf

It is then advised to run pacboy -P to synchronize database with default mirrors

From source

If you want to install it for yourself, you will first need :

• gcc
• make
• git (to clone the repo)

Then you can do :

1. git clone https://github.com/Greensky-gs/pacboy && cd pacboy to clone the repo
2. make cleanbuild to create the executable
3. Move the binary to a folder in your path. If you want to have it globally : sudo cp bin/main.uwu /usr/bin/pacboy, I usually put it in my bin folder : cp bin/main.uwu ~/bin/pacboy - just make sure the ~/bin is in your $PATH
4. Optionnaly create the man page entry : sudo make manpage
5. Run pacboy -P to synchronize the database first

Usage

You can read the help first by running pacboy -h
