0.9.22

Improvements

• General

  • directory paths changed for a root user using bauh:
    • caching: /var/cache/bauh
    • configuration: /etc/bauh
    • temp dir: /tmp/bauh@root (/tmp/bauh@$USER for non-root users)
    • autostart: /etc/xdg/autostart (only used by the Web gem at the moment)
    • desktop entries: /usr/share/applications
    • custom themes: /usr/share/bauh/themes
    • symlinks/binaries : /usr/local/bin
    • shared files: /usr/local/share/bauh
  • adding the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR environment variable if not available (following the pattern /run/user/$UID)
  • refactorings related to String formatting
  • refactorings related to shared information
  • useless code removed

• UI

  • settings panel:
    • always displaying all supported packaging technologies
    • displaying a tooltip with the missing dependencies for a supported packaging technology

      

• AppImage

  • faster reading of installed applications (subprocess call replaced by Python call)

• Flatpak

  • settings: not displaying the installation target option when bauh is launched by the root user
  • always considering system as the installation level for the root user

• Web

  • the Electron builds cache directory has been moved to the environment directory ~/.local/share/bauh/web/env/electron
  • letting the Electron client to download the Electron build file instead of bauh (to avoid wrong caching paths)

Fixes

• General

  • single thread downloader (wget) does not create the directory where the file will be stored

• AppImage

  • trying to download a file without a URL associated with #210
  • regressions:
    • not able to import AppImage files (introduced in 0.9.21)
    • not able to upgrade imported AppImage files (introduced in 0.9.21)

• Arch

  • wget as a hard requirement for Arch package management

• UI

  • settings panel:
