Added

  • Debian package: PyInstaller one-directory bundle in /opt/unitdeck with /usr/bin/unitdeck, helper in /usr/libexec/unitdeck, polkit policy, desktop file, icon and man page; built by packaging/build-deb.sh, checked with lintian and a clean-install test. unitdeck --version and unitdeck --check.
  • CI: preview package on every push to develop (artifact, 14 days); release.yml tags the merge into main, builds the package, publishes the GitHub Release with the SHA256 checksum and the changelog section as notes, and opens the sync PR main → develop.
  • New service wizard: name and template, guided fields (with User=/Group= and root warning for system services, WantedBy prefilled per scope), editable preview checked with systemd-analyze verify, enable/start options; the new unit is selected in the table. Templates are files in src/unitdeck/templates/: empty, one-shot, long-running, SMB mount with gio (user only).
  • Linger switch in the user tab, through logind's SetUserLinger with interactive authorization.
  • Delete now stops and disables the unit before removing its files; editor colours adapt to dark themes; window size and position are remembered.
  • Service editor: syntax-highlighted editor with line numbers next to the effective configuration; drop-in override.conf for package units (full copy as an option), direct edit for user-created units; systemd-analyze verify before saving, .bak backup, automatic daemon-reload and restart prompt. "Restore original" (RevertUnitFiles) and "Delete" for user-created units.
  • Privileged helper unitdeck-helper (standard library only) with its polkit policy eu.nicop.unitdeck.manage-unit-files (auth_admin_keep): writes drop-ins and units only under /etc/systemd/system, with strict name and path validation.
  • System services tab: same features as the user tab on the system bus; privileged actions use D-Bus interactive authorization, so polkit shows the desktop's authentication dialog only when needed, and a cancelled or refused authentication is reported in the status bar without any crash.
  • "Reset failed state" action and, when a job fails, systemd's own result (e.g. start-limit-hit) in the error message.
  • User services tab: searchable and filterable table of the session's .service units (including installed but not loaded ones), start/stop/restart/reload, enable/disable at boot, mask/unmask, journal viewer with live follow and priority filter, live updates from systemd's D-Bus signals, context menu and keyboard shortcuts.
  • Interface in English and Italian: follows the desktop language, selectable from the Settings menu.
  • Menu bar with Settings and Info menus, About dialogs, and an update mechanism: check against GitHub Releases (at startup, optional, and on demand), download of the .deb with SHA256 verification, installation through pkexec apt-get.
  • Project skeleton: pyproject.toml with setuptools-scm versioning, unitdeck package runnable with python -m unitdeck, refusing to start as root.
  • REUSE compliance: LICENSES/, REUSE.toml and SPDX headers in every source file.
  • CONTRIBUTING.md and CONTRIBUTING.it.md with branch model, release process and GitHub rulesets.
  • GitHub Actions workflows: ci (ruff, reuse lint, pytest) and the branch-origin and release-check gates for pull requests into main.
  • Project README, in English and Italian.
  • GPL-3.0-or-later license.
  • This changelog, in English and Italian.
