Ignore Packages from stock SteamOS in an Update and Install #13

Closed NightHammer1000 closed 2 years ago

NightHammer1000 commented 2 years ago

Packages that come Preinstalled in SteamOS should be ignored by Decker in an Update. As of now, for example, Decker tries to update the Steam Decks Bootloader steamos-efi resulting in a OS Brick because the Boot Partitons are locked.

In my Opinion, everything from the jupiter-beta Repositiory should be ignored. Even when installing. These kinds of Updates should only be done by the Steam Deck Update mechanism.

For Install, Best way to do this would be to check against a List of Packages and refusing to install if the Package is on the List of "System Packages"

Would you be able to make us such a list? As I don't have a deck right now, that would be really helpful.

We can just pass blacklisted packages to pacman to ignore when we run upgrade. https://archlinux.org/pacman/pacman.8.html#_upgrade_options_apply_to_em_s_em_and_em_u_em_a_id_uo_a

This isnt actually a Issue anymore it seems. Was probably a bad package at some point. Has been working since.
