📦 declpm - Declarative Package Management Made Easy 🚀

---

✨ Quick Start

1. Install Requirements
   Make sure you have Python 3 available and the required package manager (Arch, Ubuntu, Fedora, RHEL, SUSE, Alpine).

2. Prepare Your Package List
   Create a config.conf file (or any text file) with a list of packages you want installed, one per line.
   Example:

   vim
   git
   curl
   

   You can split your package lists into multiple files and include them:

   # config.conf
   @include devtools.conf
   htop
   

   # devtools.conf
   gcc
   gdb
   

3. Run declpm

   python3 declpm.py config.conf

   • The script detects your system's package manager and installs/removes packages to match your config.
   • Supported managers: pacman (Arch), apt-get (Ubuntu), dnf (Fedora), yum (RHEL), zypper (SUSE), apk (Alpine).

4. State Tracking

   • declpm keeps track of installed packages in your $XDG_STATE_HOME/package-mon file.
   • On each run, it will remove packages not present in your config, keeping your system declarative!
