# Boxman

Boxman is a WIP package manager compatible with pacman repositories which works with relative paths. Install Boxman into your project and it will be able to manage packages for you there and only there. It made for managing libraries in development kits.

**Note: Boxman is still very much WIP! Use at your own risk!**

## Usage

Boxman supports the following commands:

```bash

boxman install package1 package2  # Install packages

boxman update  # Update all installed packages or add package names to update specific ones

boxman remove package1 package2  # Remove packages

boxman search package  # Search for packages with a specific string in their name

boxman show package  # Print information about a package

boxman list  # Print a list of available packages

boxman installed  # Print a list of installed packages

boxman files  # Print a list of installed file_list

boxman config  # Print the configuration

```

## Configuration

Boxman expects the configuration to be in `etc/boxman.conf` (relative where it's installed) and uses a similar format to pacman.

Example for the PSPDEV repository:

```ini

[options]

RootDir     = $PSPDEV

DBPath      = var/lib/pacman

CacheDir    = var/cache/pacman

[pspdev]

Server = https://github.com/pspdev/psp-packages/releases/latest/download/

```

By default `RootDir` is not set, `DBPATH` is set to `var/lib/boxman` and `CacheDir` is set to `var/cache/boxman/pkg`. Absolute paths are not supported.

For repositories the repository name is put in brackets with the server url below it with `Server = url`. Multiple repositories can be addded.

## Dependencies

Boxman only requires Python 3.7 or newer.

Boxman should work on any current computer operating system.

## Installation

Currently, boxman does not have an installation method yet.
