Decisions
2026-03-29 – /opt/moonarch stays root-owned, no chown to user
- Who: Dominik, Ragnar
- Why: Multi-user system — chown to UID 1000 locks out other users from moonarch-update
- Tradeoffs: sudo required for git operations in update.sh vs. simpler user-owned repo
- How: Repo stays at /opt/moonarch owned by root:root. update.sh uses
sudo gitfor fetch/pull. All scripts already use sudo for system-level operations, so this is consistent.
2026-03-29 – Add transform.sh for existing Arch+Wayland systems
- Who: Dominik, Ragnar
- Why: Users with existing Arch+Wayland setups should be able to adopt Moonarch without reinstalling
- Tradeoffs: Hard overwrite of all configs (user + system) vs. selective/merge approach — chose hard overwrite for simplicity and consistency
- How: New transform.sh with pre-flight summary, backup, DM conflict resolution, and --dry-run flag. Shared helpers extracted to lib.sh.
2026-03-29 – Package moonarch as moonarch-git PKGBUILD
- Who: Dominik, Ragnar
- Why: System artifacts (XDG configs, helper scripts, zsh config, wallpaper) should be managed by pacman for clean deployment, versioning, rollback, and deinstallation
- Tradeoffs: /etc/xdg/ configs NOT in backup= (moonarch philosophy: system defaults flow through, users override in ~/.config/). /etc/greetd/ and /etc/moongreet/ NOT owned by package (owned by greetd/moongreet-git, overwritten via .install hook). Helper scripts move from /usr/local/bin/ to /usr/bin/ (FHS for package-managed files)
- How: moonarch-git PKGBUILD in moonarch-pkgbuilds repo. sweet-cursors-git as separate package. moonarch-update simplified (no git-sync, pacman handles file deployment). Installer scripts (post-install.sh, transform.sh) remain for orchestration, will be refactored in a follow-up to delegate file deployment to
