[FEAT] List of currently unsupported package managers

[AlbydST]

I'm making a list of package managers currently unsupported by fastfetch, currently I have:

• AppImage
• Devbox
• Rad
• ScratchPKG
• TCE
• CPT
• KISS
• Pacstall
• NPM
• pip
• Bonsai
• URPMI
• Birb

(Let me know if I have missed any!)
Are these going to be supported in the future?

[CarterLi]

npm and pip will not be supported as they are programming language specific. Pacstall packages should be counted as dpkg if it works like AUR for pacman.

I don't know others. They won't be supported if no one would like to contribute.

Where would I find in the code to add the package managers. I want to add Appimage

If you are going to count Pacstall packages, you should get the amount of files in /var/lib/pacstall/metadata.

Winget packages get shown as choco packages (even though I don't have Chocolatey installed)

@Elsie19 What does ls -l /var/lib/pacstall/metadata print?

@yesseruser That's a different issue. Please file a new one.

It just has pacstall metadata files. If you get the amount of files in that directory, you have the amount of packages pacstall is tracking.

@Elsie19 Please test the dev build

It works!

Winget packages are on Windows. You are using Ubuntu which Winget does not and will probably never support.

Oop! I replied to the wrong message. I meant to @CarterLi!
