Builds a full dev workstation from a bare Arch Linux install. https://git.cjennings.net/archsetup/atom?h=main 2026-07-08T15:53:32+00:00 2026-07-08T15:53:32+00:00 Craig Jennings c@cjennings.net 2026-07-08T15:53:32+00:00 urn:sha1:a1d5e90af52ff4bf2cf5355a93f5d8073791464a pacman --needed skips a package that is already on the system as a dependency and leaves its install reason alone. A declared package can then sit as asdeps, surface as an orphan once its accidental dependent leaves, and get swept away by an orphan cleanup. expac and lm_sensors, both maintenance-console runtime deps, nearly went this way: they were asdeps on both hosts and only survived today's orphan sweep because something still depended on them. pacman_install now marks the package explicit after a successful install. The mark never runs on a failed install, and a mark failure never fails the install. I flipped expac and lm_sensors to explicit on ratio and velox by hand since the installer only runs on fresh systems.
