📦 Parch-Profiler

Parch-Profiler is a powerful Python-based utility designed specifically for Parch Linux. It simplifies the management of system packages and configurations by allowing you to generate, validate, and install packages—including AUR and Flatpak—using a structured TOML configuration file.

🚀 Features

• Package Installation:

  • Install packages using Pacman, AUR (via paru), and Flatpak from a single TOML file.

• Configuration Management:

  • Clone configuration files, such as Neovim setups, directly from Git repositories.

• Systemd Service Management:

  • Enable and start systemd services as specified in the TOML configuration.

• TOML Validation:

  • Validate your TOML files to ensure they are correctly formatted.

• Package List Generation:

  • Automatically generate TOML files listing all installed Pacman, AUR, and Flatpak packages.

• File-based TOML Generation:

  • Convert simple text files listing packages into structured TOML files.

📄 Usage

1. Loading a TOML Configuration

To install packages, clone configurations, and enable services:

python profiler.py --load config.toml

2. Validating a TOML Configuration

Check if your TOML file is correctly formatted:

python profiler.py --check config.toml

3. Generating a System Package List

Generate a TOML file listing all installed Pacman, AUR, and Flatpak packages:

python profiler.py --generate-system output.toml

4. Generating a TOML from a Text File

Convert a simple text file into a TOML configuration:

python profiler.py --generate-file input.txt output.toml

5. Reviewing and Editing Generated TOML Files

After generating a TOML file, you will be prompted to review and edit it using your preferred text editor (vim or nano).
