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    - the local package database is out of date and so doesn't yet contain the package: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
