Add commands for managing system-package installer versions
vkottler opened this issue · comments
It would be nice to be able to specify to rcmpy some configuration data for a desired state of system packages.
Then, rcmpy could be taught how to coerce system packages for various, popular package managers
If rcmpy is managing the state of certain system packages. It should have some way to query whether or not new packages are available (which packages and what the new versions are etc.)
Don't want to off-road too far here. An alternative would be for the user to manually update the package and then for rcmpy to update its own state (thus producing a diff in some git repo)
In some cases, specifying a git source repository and/or branch + hash, plus installation instructions could be useful, too.
