Install scripts

Currently:

• install.sh checkdeps.sh setup.sh only work for Arch(-based) distros.
• update-ags.sh works for common distros, but user must figure out deps for AGS themselves (at least not easy for openSUSE, see end-4#275 and Aylur#313).

Structrue

Main script: install.sh

• The script keeps its “data” part under ./scriptdata/. Some files are also shared by other scripts.
• When the script build something from source, they’re stored under ./cache/. Of course, ./cache is listed on .gitignore.

Other scripts:

• update-ags.sh
  • The script uses the install-ags function from ./scriptdata/installers.
  • If executed, it installs AGS without confirm.
• checkdeps.sh
  • Check the existence of pkgs listed in ./scriptdata/dependencies.conf.
  • It somehow fixes the problem caused by yay.
• uninstall.sh
  • Deprecated. Unrecommended to use because its behavior may be destructive.
  • If executed, it tries to revert all changes from install.sh, whether the change is or is not really caused by install.sh.

Online script: setup.sh

• Stored in the repo of dots-hyprland-wiki to be served by the doc site directly.
• When executed, it downloads the dots-hyprland repo and then executes the install.sh.

Idempotent

The scripts (install.sh update-ags.sh checkdeps.sh setup.sh) are and should be idempotent, i.e. capable for running multiple times.

This is useful for debugging and a resumable installation, and also provide updating function somehow.
