# Pacman Repo Cleanup
A script to clean up pacman repos. This is primarily used for removing old versions of packages and adding new ones, but it has options to print old and new packages line-by-line so they can be parsed by other programs.
## Usage
First off, this depends on `natsort`, which you can install with `pip install natsort`.
```text
list-new-packages
├── --list-debug
└── repo_path*
list-old-packages
├── --list-debug
└── repo_path*
run
├── --delete-debug
├── --dry-run
├── --only-delete
└── repo_path*
* = required
```
### `list-new-packages`
List the newest version of all packages.
- `--list-debug`: List debug symbol packages (default: true)
### `list-old-packages`
Lists old versions of packages.
- `--list-debug`: List debug symbol packages (default: true)
### `run`
Processes it all, runs `repo-remove` and deletes old packages, then runs `repo-add` on new packages.
Arguments:
- `--dry-run`: Do a dry run
- `--only-delete`: Only delete files, don't modify the repo files from them (default: false)
- `--delete-debug`: Delete debug symbol packages (default: true)
## Notes and credits
This was inspired by [guydunigo/remove_old_arch_pkgs](https://github.com/guydunigo/remove_old_arch_pkgs), which I used at first, but ran into some bugs with.
I also ~~stole~~ borrowed a bit of code from [blend-os/blend](https://github.com/blend-os/blend) for coloring the terminal.
