  • .repo - Extraneous files that does not serve any functional purpose
  • etc - Files that are copied over to the /etc directory
  • home - Files that are copied over to the /home/pomp directory
  • files - Files that are used but does not get copied
  • src - Python scripts. Check code comments (especially __init__.py) for more info

Usage

  1. Install Arch linux.

    A built-in installer (using archinstall) will be added in the future. In the meantime, use archfi instead. sudo and wget, and paru-bin must be installed.

  2. Create a user.

    Create a user in wheel group and create a home directory:

    useradd -G wheel -m pomp

    Allow user to use sudo:

    EDITOR=vim visudo

    Now, log in to the user account.

  3. Download the setup script.

    wget setup.developomp.com -O setup.py

  4. Execute it.

    python ./setup.py

Full setup could easily take more than a hour depending on the internet speed.
