A new version of Bonsai is out!
You can do now the following things:
- View your deployments details (Layered, removed and replaced for remote and local packages)
- Pin and unpin deployments
- Set a deployment to be booted next
- Delete a deployment
- Rebase to an other branch
- Add new remote branches
- See pending changes
- Add layered/remove packages
- Delete overwrites (remove layered packages, restore removed base packages)
It is also now available via Flatpak:
flatpak install https://codeberg.org/petsoi/bonsai/raw/branch/main/page.codeberg.petsoi.bonsai.flatpakref
Have fun using it! Feedback is welcome!

It does not modify things itself. It only uses the commands you would use yourself in the terminal, it just simplifies their usage. Imho it's safe to use and I use it on my production systems as well.
Other than that, some feedback for long running tasks could be improved, or batch changes added...

it’s working fine
I think the “download update” button could show the output of
rpm-ostree update —previewbefore executing the command and requesting confirmation in the process, that would be nice :)btw does the + plus on the branch section perform a rebase or just a deploy?

I'm not sure how much advantages a preview option for downloading would have. After having done the regular download, one sees the not yet started image (with the ⏳ next to it), then you can inspect and delete it, if you want. Or is there some more things you could do with preview?
Thanks for the feedback. When you do the + and select branch, a rebase button appears, When you press that, it will rebase. There is currently no fetch option.

lol I forgot we can inspect the deployment after that, I just think that it feels a little harsh to just press “update” blindly without knowing anything about the download,
rpm-partee update —checkalso exists to avoid redundanciespetsoi@discuss.tchncs.de · 1 pts · 68d
Do you mean
rpm-ostree upgrade --preview?Hmm I wonder how a nice UI could look like...
overcast@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 68d
hi, what I meant was…
you told me that
update —previewwould be redundant if we can check the deployment anyways after the updatein that case, we can instead see
update —checkas a brief summary and also as a way to ask for confirmation, it wouldn’t need that much space to displaybtw nice to see you here, I don’t have Github or Reddit accounts to give feedback on there :)

Btw, I think, I have a good idea, how to display the content of
--preview, UI wise. On my machine it takes approximately as long as--check. So I could use it, instead of preview and then display the upcoming changes with the + Button (which could have a integrated drop down.)I need to check, how much complexity that adds, or if there is a clever way to implement that.

So the + button shows up if
update --checkreturns that there is something to update. But I'm not sure what additional info it provides which is worth displaying.What do you think of?
Btw. it's not on Github, but on Codeberg.org 😀️
