mpm

Overview

mpm is a package manager for makedeb, allowing for installation and updates of packages from the AUR

Installation

First, set up the repository with the following commands:

sudo wget 'https://hunterwittenborn.com/keys/apt.asc' -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/hwittenborn.asc
echo 'deb [arch=all] https://repo.hunterwittenborn.com/debian/makedeb any main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/makedeb.list
sudo apt update

Then, install mpm with one of the following commands:

• mpm (stable release):

sudo apt install mpm

• mpm (alpha release):

sudo apt install mpm-alpha

As expected, don't run the alpha release if you're expecting stability. Things could break occasionally, and you'll need to know how to get around your system when it happens.

Usage

Instructions can be found after installation with mpm --help

Other Notes

mpm will only update packages itself has installed. Likewise, if there's any AUR packages you've installed with makedeb that you'd like to to update with mpm, uninstall them and then reinstall them with mpm.
