This is continuation of something few of us did several months ago. Since I made several iterations with this script, I'll paste it here since it may be useful to somebody else. Script lists source for all installed packages, so with Arch repos enabled (by hacking pacman.conf!) it shows all the sneaky immigrant packages that are not from Artix repo. With latest update, packages that are explicitly installed will have '*' on the left.
#!/usr/bin/env python3
from pathlib import Path
def get_distro(fn):
item = {"name": "unknown", "distro": "Unknown", "reason": "*"}
desc = fn.read_text().splitlines()
for i, line in enumerate(desc):
if line.strip() == "%NAME%":
item["name"] = desc[i + 1].strip()
if line.strip() == "%PACKAGER%":
packager = desc[i + 1].strip()
if "archlinux" in packager:
item["distro"] = "Arch"
elif "artix" in packager:
item["distro"] = "Artix"
if line.strip() == "%REASON%" and desc[i + 1].strip() == "1":
item["reason"] = " "
p_list.append(item)
def list_distro(distro_list):
for distro in distro_list:
print("#" * (len(distro) + 10))
print(distro, "Packages:")
print("#" * (len(distro) + 10))
print("")
for x in list(filter(lambda p: p['distro'] is distro, p_list)):
print(x["reason"], x["name"])
print("")
p_list = []
for fn in Path("/var/lib/pacman/local").glob("**/desc"):
get_distro(fn)
p_list.sort(key=lambda x: x["name"])
list_distro(["Artix", "Arch", "Unknown"])
I have no requests to add anything to Artix but maybe something from the list makes sense to add anyway. My "Arch" section of the report looks like this:
