packaging/ builds it in a Fedora container and makes an RPM;
.forgejo/workflows/rpm.yml runs that on each push to main and uploads it
to the forge's quine RPM group, which quine-linux's image installs from.

lib/main.dart: find pkg-history next to the executable, where the RPM
installs it, before the working directory.

DNF Package Store

A lightweight Flutter desktop app for browsing and trying out packages on DNF-based Linux distros (Fedora and friends), without committing to a permanent install.

Features

  • Search or browse the full package catalog, scoped to a single repo/channel or across all enabled repos.
  • Browse by category — AppStream app categories and comps groups, shown as tags on each package.
  • Install packages transiently (dnf install --transient), so test installs disappear automatically on reboot instead of lingering.
  • Launch installed apps directly, or uninstall them immediately.
  • Settings page to uninstall PackageKit (and its AppStream catalog data) if you only wanted it for the richer category listings.

Getting Started

This is a standard Flutter project targeting Linux desktop. With the Flutter SDK on your PATH:

flutter run -d linux

Package history

pkg-history (repo root) is a separate, standalone script — not part of the Flutter app — that lists rpm-ostree deployments (the real revision history on an image-based/bootc system like Aurora, as opposed to dnf history, which doesn't apply here). It's plain Python 3 calling rpm-ostree, journalctl and getent, all already on the host, so it needs no build step and no toolbox:

./pkg-history

The app's "Package history" toolbar button just opens this script in a terminal.
