cmds.pkg: Add --exact to jw-pkg packages install
Add an additional option -x, which inhibits dependency resolution during installation of packages. Signed-off-by: Jan Lindemann <jan@janware.com> Assisted-by: unsloth/Qwen3.8-27B-GGUF:Q4_K_M with pi.dev v1.4.0
lib.distros.Distro.install_*(): Add install_deps
The install methods of Distro inconsistently resolve dependencies or don't depending on the descendant's implementation. Pin that more unambigously by adding a new parameter install_deps, defaulting to True, to the following methods of lib.Distro: _install_local_files() _install_urls() _install_urls_and_names() install() The implementations in lib.distros.* make use of the new lib.pm.*.install_packages() method introduced by the previous commit. Add a unit test directory per Distro descendant. Assisted-by: unsloth/Qwen3.8-27B-GGUF:Q4_K_M with pi.dev v1.4.0 Signed-off-by: Jan Lindemann <jan@janware.com>
lib.pm.*.install_packages(): Add functions
Currently, jw-pkg install is sometimes left to the high-level package manager, which is allowed to install dependencies along, and that's sometimes unwanted, but there's no backend in the low-level package manager module lib.pm to allow specifying that. This commit adds it: lib.pm.*.install_packages(). The functions install a list of local package files using the low-level package managers rpm / dpkg, bypassing the high-level package managers yum / apt / zypper. pm.rpm runs rpm -U and pm.dpkg runs dpkg -i. Every file is classified against the installed state of its package, queried by name: a file for a package that is not installed is installed fresh, a file with another version installed is upgraded, and a file whose version is already installed is reinstalled when force is set and skipped otherwise. On rpm, plain -U refuses a package that is already installed, and --reinstall aborts the transaction when a file of the incoming package differs from the installed one, so the upgrades run before the reinstalls and the same-version files need force. With only_update, a file for a package that is not installed raises before anything is installed. The dpkg route is gated on an apt simulation, because dpkg -i leaves a half-configured package when a dependency is missing: the simulation runs first and the install is refused when it would install or remove anything but the given files' own packages.

lib.Package: Add and fill version field
Add a version field to the Package class and make query_packages() fill it. It's very much distribution and package dependent what shape that version has, so from Package's perspective, it's just a str-typed member. Further improvements and fixes: - Make query_packages() accept throw, defaulting to the previous behaviour, so a caller that wants to be prepared for a missing package / an empty result can pass throw = False. - Make dpkg's _run() and run_dpkg_query() forward ec and the remaining keyword arguments on the sudo path, which dropped them before. Add unit tests for the file type tree and its StatResult predicates. Assisted-by: unsloth/Qwen3.8-27B-GGUF:Q4_K_M with pi.dev v1.4.0 Signed-off-by: Jan Lindemann <jan@janware.com>
