Updating and installing software
hybrid-d77 has two kinds of packages: Chimera’s own, from the Chimera
repositories, and hybrid-d77’s own (h77-*, utumno, qsd77,
quickshell-h77), published on the project’s
GitHub release. Each is
updated with its own command. Both need root, through doas.
The system
As on any Chimera system, with apk:
doas apk update
doas apk upgrade
Installing and removing software:
apk search <name>
doas apk add <package>
doas apk del <package>
The main and user repositories are both enabled. The
Chimera Linux documentation covers apk
in detail.
hybrid-d77’s own packages
doas h77-update
It is also the Update hybrid-d77 packages item of h77-welcome. It
downloads the latest release from GitHub, checks the files against their
SHA256SUMS and upgrades the hybrid-d77 packages that are installed: a
Sway installation never gets the niri packages, and the other way round. It
needs an internet connection, curl and jq (both installed).
An update of h77-sway-dots or h77-niri-dots changes the files in
/etc/skel, not the copies in your home; see
Where things are configured.
Services
Services are managed by dinit. The installer enables polkitd,
networkmanager, seatd, rtkit and syslog-ng; dbus and elogind
enable themselves. For others:
dinitctl list # what is running
doas dinitctl enable <service> # start it now and at every boot
doas dinitctl disable <service>
