Plugin for dotbot to streamline package management, installs packages with the system package manager on Linux or brew if on OSX.
Currently supports:

• dnf
• apt-get
• pacman
• brew

Just add it as a submodule of your dotfiles repository

git submodule add https://github.com/code-maniac/dotbot-omnipkg

Modify install script so that it automatically enables dotbot-omnipkg plugin

BASEDIR="$(cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")" && pwd)"
OMNIPKGPLUGIN="${BASEDIR}/dotbot-omnipkg/omnipkg.py"

"${BASEDIR}/${DOTBOT_DIR}/${DOTBOT_BIN}" \
    -d "${BASEDIR}" \
    -c "${CONFIG}" \
    -p "${OMNIPKGPLUGIN}" \
    "${@}" 

The following directives are supported:

• update
• install
• upgrade

Each being placed under the main "omnipkg" directive

- omnipkg:
    - update

- omnipkg:
    - upgrade

- omnipkg:
    - install: [
        kitty,
        tmux,
        zsh,
        neovim]

- omnipkg:
    - install: [
        [ python3, python ]
      ]

Priority is given to first package in the list.
To be used when a package has a different name depending on the distro that it's being installed on. In the above example python3 is named python3 on OSX and Ubuntu but is named python on Arch.

- omnipkg:
    - install: [
        { dnf: https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm },
    ]

Above installs rpmfusion free repos if dnf is the package manager otherwise is ignored

- omnipkg:
    - install: [
        { linux: g++ }
    ]

Above installs g++ on linux but is ignored on mac

The following filters are supported:

• dnf - for dnf package manager
• pac - for pacman package manager
• apt - for apt-get package manager
• brew - for brew package manager
• linux - for linux platform
• mac - for mac platform
• else - for any not specified

Priority is given to package manager first, then platform, then else

Additionally packages can be restricted to only install on systems with an installed gui.

- omnipkg:
    - install: [
        { linux: gimp, require_gui: true }
    ]

Above installs gimp only on a system with an installed gui. It will not install in WSL or a docker image as an example.

1. Add directive to support adding new PPA repositories
2. Add support for additional package managers - zypp, emerge etc
