# ║ setup/modules/core-packages.sh — Core system package installation ║
|
|
# ║ ║
|
|
# ║ PURPOSE: ║
|
|
# ║ Installs all base-layer packages that every configuration of this ║
|
|
# ║ system relies on. This is the largest and most time-consuming module. ║
|
|
# ║ ║
|
|
# ║ WHEN TO RUN: ║
|
|
# ║ After package-managers.sh (yay must be present for the AUR packages). ║
|
|
# ║ Called "core" in the TUI installer's component checklist. ║
|
|
# ║ ║
|
|
# ║ CATEGORIES INSTALLED: ║
|
|
# ║ - Archiving & file utilities (7zip, atool, dust, fd, fzf, ripgrep) ║
|
|
# ║ - Base build tools (base-devel, gcc, rust, rustup, python, ruby) ║
|
|
# ║ - Networking (networkmanager, iwd, openssh, wpa_supplicant, bind, ldns) ║
|
|
# ║ - Audio (pipewire, wireplumber, libpulse) ║
|
|
# ║ - Boot & storage (grub, btrfs-progs, dosfstools, udisks2, udiskie) ║
|
|
# ║ - Terminal utilities (btop, htop, tmux, mc, yazi, nano, vim, neovim) ║
|
|
# ║ - System monitoring (fastfetch, lshw, lsof, smartmontools, vnstat) ║
|
|
# ║ - Security (fail2ban, ufw, pciutils, usbutils) ║
|
|
# ║ - Misc: flatpak, distrobox, qrencode, fdupes, lynx, tldr, tree ║

# Package groupings with rationale:
|

# Packages are collected in an array rather than written as a single

# backslash-continued `pacman` invocation: an array literal is the only form

|
# where `#` comments (both full-line and trailing) are allowed between items.
|
|
# A continued command would treat the first inline comment as the end of the
|
|
# command, silently dropping every package after it.
