Two related fixes for installing package builds onto a system that has
the legacy script-installed Omarchy files already in place:
bin/omarchy-dev-pkg-test: split makepkg -s (build) from sudo pacman -U
(install) so we can pass --overwrite='*' to pacman. makepkg -i forwards
a fixed flag set to pacman and doesn't expose --overwrite, so dev pkg
tests on an existing script-install fail on every conflicting file
(plymouth themes, /etc drop-ins, sudoers). --overwrite='*' is correct
for the dev use case: the build IS the new authoritative state.
bin/omarchy-update-system-pkgs: add /usr/share/plymouth/themes/omarchy/*
to the transition --overwrite list. The old install/login/plymouth.sh
cp -r'd the theme files into that directory, so existing installs
conflict on the omarchy-settings package's plymouth payload.
The four dev-tools commands that complete the developer-ergonomics
story for the package refactor:
- omarchy-dev-link <path>: writes /etc/omarchy.conf so OMARCHY_PATH
resolves to <path> in all new shells, the Hyprland session env, and
systemd --user. Updates the live session via hyprctl setenv +
systemctl --user import-environment, restarts omarchy-shell, and
reloads Hyprland so the changes are visible immediately. Affects
every tree resolved via $OMARCHY_PATH: bin/, default/, shell/,
themes/, applications/, config/.
- omarchy-dev-unlink: removes /etc/omarchy.conf and reverses the live
session updates back to /usr/share/omarchy.
- omarchy-dev-status: reports current dev-link state (configured path,
current shell, hyprland session env).
- omarchy-dev-pkg-test [pkg] [checkout]: builds and installs a package
from the checkout via OMARCHY_SRC + makepkg -si --skipchecksums.
Used for changes that land at fixed system paths (/etc/, /usr/lib/,
udev rule bodies, plymouth themes, /etc/skel) that dev-link can't
shadow. The built package's pkgver is tagged 'dev.<short-sha>[.dirty]'
so 'pacman -Q' makes its source obvious. Defaults: package
omarchy-settings, checkout ~/Work/omarchy/omarchy-installer,
PKGBUILDs read from ~/Work/omarchy/omarchy-pkgs/pkgbuilds/.
All four ship via omarchy-dev-tools (existing PKGBUILD wildcard).
Verified package build picks them up at /usr/bin/omarchy-dev-*.
