meta_package_manager.managers.deb_get module

class meta_package_manager.managers.deb_get.Deb_Get[source]

Bases: PackageManager

deb-get installs third-party software on Debian and Ubuntu via .deb packages sourced from GitHub releases, direct URLs, and PPAs.

Note

deb-get wraps apt under the hood for actual package installation and removal, so all operations that modify the system require sudo.

Caution

deb-get list --installed prints bare package names with no versions, so the installed inventory carries no version. search is likewise version-less and offers no exact or extended mode, so mpm refilters its results.

Note

There is no read-only outdated: detection runs deb-get update, which also refreshes the package index, so the probe escalates through sudo like a sync.

Initialize cli_errors list.

name: str = 'deb-get'

Return package manager’s common name.

Default value is based on class name.

homepage_url: str | None = 'https://github.com/wimpysworld/deb-get'

Home page of the project, only used in documentation for reference.

Slug of the brand mark standing for this manager in the documentation.

Names an SVG vendored under docs/assets/managers/, whose provenance and license are recorded in docs/assets/managers/logos.yaml. Inlined at the top of the manager’s page by meta_package_manager._docs; a manager leaving it unset keeps the page’s default package glyph.

Several managers legitimately share one slug, either because they wrap the same upstream (brew and cask) or because the tool has no mark of its own and its ecosystem’s stands in (apt under Debian’s swirl, cargo under Rust’s gear). Documentation-only, like homepage_url: no CLI output reads it.

platforms: frozenset[Platform] | Group | Platform | Iterable[Platform | Group] = frozenset({Platform(id='almalinux', name='AlmaLinux'), Platform(id='alpine', name='Alpine Linux'), Platform(id='altlinux', name='ALT Linux'), Platform(id='amzn', name='Amazon Linux'), Platform(id='android', name='Android'), Platform(id='arch', name='Arch Linux'), Platform(id='buildroot', name='Buildroot'), Platform(id='cachyos', name='CachyOS'), Platform(id='centos', name='CentOS'), Platform(id='chromeos', name='ChromeOS'), Platform(id='clearlinux', name='Clear Linux OS'), Platform(id='cloudlinux', name='CloudLinux OS'), Platform(id='debian', name='Debian'), Platform(id='endeavouros', name='EndeavourOS'), Platform(id='exherbo', name='Exherbo Linux'), Platform(id='fedora', name='Fedora'), Platform(id='generic_linux', name='Generic Linux'), Platform(id='gentoo', name='Gentoo Linux'), Platform(id='guix', name='Guix System'), Platform(id='ibm_powerkvm', name='IBM PowerKVM'), Platform(id='kali', name='Kali Linux'), Platform(id='kvmibm', name='KVM for IBM z Systems'), Platform(id='linuxmint', name='Linux Mint'), Platform(id='mageia', name='Mageia'), Platform(id='mandriva', name='Mandriva Linux'), Platform(id='manjaro', name='Manjaro Linux'), Platform(id='nixos', name='NixOS'), Platform(id='nobara', name='Nobara'), Platform(id='opensuse', name='openSUSE'), Platform(id='openwrt', name='OpenWrt'), Platform(id='oracle', name='Oracle Linux'), Platform(id='parallels', name='Parallels'), Platform(id='pidora', name='Pidora'), Platform(id='pikaos', name='PikaOS'), Platform(id='raspbian', name='Raspbian'), Platform(id='rhel', name='RedHat Enterprise Linux'), Platform(id='rocky', name='Rocky Linux'), Platform(id='scientific', name='Scientific Linux'), Platform(id='slackware', name='Slackware'), Platform(id='sles', name='SUSE Linux Enterprise Server'), Platform(id='slitaz', name='SliTaz GNU/Linux'), Platform(id='sourcemage', name='Source Mage GNU/Linux'), Platform(id='tuxedo', name='Tuxedo OS'), Platform(id='ubuntu', name='Ubuntu'), Platform(id='ultramarine', name='Ultramarine'), Platform(id='void', name='Void Linux'), Platform(id='wsl1', name='Windows Subsystem for Linux v1'), Platform(id='wsl2', name='Windows Subsystem for Linux v2'), Platform(id='xenserver', name='XenServer')})

List of platforms supported by the manager.

Allows for a mishmash of platforms and groups of platforms. Will be normalized into a frozenset of Platform instances at instantiation.

default_sudo: bool = True

Built-in escalation default, used when sudo is None.

False on the base: most managers install into user-writable trees and never need root. The system package managers whose privileged operations require root (apt, dnf, pacman, zypper, …) set this to True so their build_cli(..., sudo=True) operations escalate out of the box, while staying switchable off through sudo (--no-sudo or config) for rootless setups.

version_cli_options: tuple[str, ...] = ('version',)
$ deb-get version
0.4.5
version_regexes: tuple[str, ...] = ('(?P<version>\\d+\\.\\d+\\.\\d+)',)

Regular expressions used to extract the version number.

This property must be a tuple of strings, each of which is a valid regular expression that must contain a group named <version>.

The first of these regexes producing a match and returning non-empty <version> group will be used as the version string of the package manager.

That version string will then be sanitized and normalized by meta_package_manager.execution.CLIExecutor.version.

By default match the first part that is space-separated.

Caution

These regexes are compiled with re.MULTILINE only. They are not compiled with re.VERBOSE, so literal whitespace in the pattern is significant and matches whitespace in the CLI output.

property installed: Iterator[Package]

Fetch installed packages.

$ deb-get list --installed
activitywatch
anydesk
bitwarden
deb-get
freeplane
google-chrome-stable
ipscan
protonvpn
zoom

Note

deb-get list --installed only outputs bare package names without version information.

property outdated: Iterator[Package]

Fetch outdated packages.

$ sudo deb-get update
Checking for updates to deb-get installed packages
  [+] ipscan (3.9.2) has an update pending. 3.9.3 is available.

Note

Outdated detection piggybacks on deb-get update which also refreshes the package index.

search(query, extended, exact)[source]

Fetch matching packages.

Caution

Search does not support extended or exact matching, and does not provide version information. Returns the best subset of results and lets meta_package_manager.manager.PackageManager.refiltered_search() refine them.

$ deb-get search zoom
zoom
Return type:

Iterator[Package]

install(package_id, version=None)[source]

Install one package.

$ sudo deb-get install ipscan
Return type:

str

upgrade_all_cli()[source]

Generates the CLI to upgrade all packages.

$ sudo deb-get upgrade
Return type:

tuple[str, ...]

upgrade_one_cli(package_id, version=None)[source]

Generates the CLI to upgrade one package by reinstalling it.

$ sudo deb-get install ipscan
Return type:

tuple[str, ...]

remove(package_id)[source]

Remove one package.

$ sudo deb-get remove ipscan
Return type:

str

sync()[source]

Sync package metadata.

$ sudo deb-get update
Return type:

None

cleanup_cache()[source]

Remove cached downloads.

$ sudo deb-get clean
Return type:

None

cli_names: tuple[str, ...] = ('deb-get',)

List of CLI names the package manager is known as.

This list of recognized CLI names is ordered by priority. That way we can influence the search of the right binary.

..hint::

This was helpful in the case of the Python transition from 2.x to 3.x, where multiple versions of the same executable were named python or python3.

By default, this property’s value is derived from the manager’s ID (see the MetaPackageManager.__init__ method above).

id: str = 'deb-get'

Package manager’s ID.

Derived by defaults from the lower-cased class name in which underscores _ are replaced by dashes -.

This ID must be unique among all package manager definitions and lower-case, as they’re used as feature flags for the mpm CLI.

virtual: bool = False

Should we expose the package manager to the user?

Virtual package manager are just skeleton classes used to factorize code among managers of the same family.
