Package Manager Installation 📦

Description

This Ansible role installs Kevin’s Package Manager and updates packages using pkgmgr on Arch Linux systems. It provides a unified interface for package installation and update management, ensuring consistent deployment across environments.

Overview

The purpose of this role is to automate the installation and update process for Infinito.Nexus-related applications or other managed packages using pkgmgr. It simplifies package handling and enforces best practices for package deployment in automated environments.

Features

• Automatic pkgmgr Update: Ensures the package manager is always up-to-date.

• Idempotent Package Installation: Only installs packages when necessary.
