0.2.9 - 2025-03-16

Release Notes

Added

• New backend: uv (#75)!

Changed

• All commands that previously took a --package argument now take a
  --packages argument instead to allow passing multiple packages instead
  of just one at a time.

Removed

• The rustup backend has been removed since rustup components are more
  complex to manage and so don't fit with the rest of the backends very
  nicely. (#76)

0.2.8 - 2025-03-09

Release Notes

Added

• New commands (#71):
  • metapac remove which is the opposite of metapac add
  • metapac install which does metapac add plus immediately installs
    the requested package
  • metapac uninstall which does the opposite of metapac install

Removed

• The metapac review command has been removed since it hasn't had an
  implementation and has been replaced by editing the output of the
  metapac unmanaged command using a text editor as outlined in the usage
  section of the README.md.

0.2.7 - 2025-02-08

Release Notes

Fixed

• flatpak backend now doesn't skip the first listed package (#65) thanks
  @latin-1!
• dnf backend now queries installed packages using the correct format
  (it was missing a newline between packages) (#66) thanks @latin-1!

Changed

• There is quite a large code refactor for each of the backends in this
  release, there shouldn't be any functional differences from the last
  version but there is a higher likelihood for new bugs to be introduced.

0.2.4 - 2024-11-21

Release Notes

Added

• New subcommand metapac backends! (#50)

  A new subcommand metapac backends has been added which shows you which
  backends metapac can find on your system and also their version
  numbers!

• flatpak packages now support a remote config value to allow you to
  specify which remote you want to install each package from (#53)

Fixed

• metapac now gives out a hefty warning when you have arch packages in
  your group files which don't match real arch packages in the arch package
  repositories (#52). Here is an example of the warning:

  WARN  metapac::backends::arch > arch package "mesa-vdpau" was not found as an available package and so was ignored (you can test
  if the package exists via `pacman -Si "mesa-vdpau"` or similar command using your chosen AUR helper)
  
  it may be due to one of the following issues:
    - the package name has a typo as written in your group files
    - the package is a virtual package (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman#Virtual_packages)
      and so is ambiguous. You can run `pacman -Ss "mesa-vdpau"` to list non-virtual packages which
      which provide the virtual package
    - the package was removed from the repositories
    - the package was renamed to a different name
    - the local package database is out of date and so doesn't yet contain the package:
      update it with `sudo pacman -Sy` or similar command using your chosen AUR helper
