Question: I want to complete the TODO list, for that I need to understand every point of that.

[fmf437]

Could, someone explain to me what means each point of the TODO list, I'm not understand:
1 - allow to set the base lib dir
2 - force to remove db config
3 - show detailed info for one config
4 - set architecture from library not from bash
5 - pass ids and bus ids to script
6 - do not remove packages on reinstallation ...
7 - add option similar to pacman --root (this option do not exists on pacman ! )

These are old ideas by Roland. Some of those are already implemented by @december0123. Maybe he knows more and what he did so far ...

@philmmanjaro What remains to be done in this project ?

[december0123]

Right now I'm refactoring mhwd to give it a better structure, eliminate code duplication and utilize modern C++ features.
I plan to extract a library so @Kirek can use the refactored mhwd in his Manjaro Settings Manager. What he needs is: "the list of configurations/devices available to install with mhwd, and the installed configurations and some info about them (configuration name, device name, class name, vendor name, etc)."
I also plan to finally get down to writing some tests so we can know that nothing got broken.

One new feature off the top of my head would be to somehow indicate which config is currently being used.

I can help in something ? Tell me what.

"One new feature off the top of my head would be to somehow indicate which config is currently being used."
"which config" means the drivers installed ?

@filipe-marques: we have this feature already ...
