- Add zsh to SYSTEM_PACKAGES
- Detect RHEL-family vs Debian-family from /etc/os-release ID/ID_LIKE
(falls back to PKG_MGR if os-release is unreadable)
- ensure_zsh_default sets zsh as the invoking user's login shell after
system install: usermod -s on RHEL-family (chsh under default
authselect refuses other-user changes), chsh -s elsewhere; SUDO_USER
is preferred so sudo invocations target the real user
- Add oh-my-zsh to CUSTOM_PACKAGES; the installer runs the official
unattended script (requires zsh + git, which are already installed by
this point) and rewrites ZSH_THEME to "gnzh" in ~/.zshrc
- As a final step, run 'zsh -c "source ~/.zshrc"' to validate the rc
file (the user's interactive shell is unaffected — they need a new
terminal to pick up the new default shell)
pip is unusual among the custom packages because it ships inside CPython
itself, so it doesn't need a URL or archive. The handler bootstraps it
from the standard-library wheel via 'python3 -m ensurepip --upgrade' and
then self-upgrades to the latest version. Detection uses
'python3 -m pip --version' instead of a filesystem path.
- Move SYSTEM_PACKAGES, FLATPAK_PACKAGES, and CUSTOM_PACKAGES into
formatted_packages.py as typed Python data; drop the bespoke parser
- Custom package URLs are now string templates with {version}, {arch},
and {arch_go} substitutions, so the same entry works on x86_64 and
aarch64 without hand-editing the URL
- Add best-effort latest-version resolvers for Go, Firecracker, and Zig
(using go.dev JSON, GitHub releases, and ziglang index.json
respectively); on any failure the pinned version + sha256 are used
and the fallback is logged
- Make Neovim's archive name and install dir arch-aware (x86_64/arm64)
- Document that --no-gui skips the entire Flatpak section, including
installing flatpak itself
