# Cleaning up after ALG
## Package cleanup
The **very first** thing done was to export ALG's packages - before I installed anything of my own (except `dcli` and `yay` because I needed them to do said export). Then, I differ them against my Blend's `/system.yaml` (see: `./packages-raw` and `../system-packages-GuzioPadV4/sytem-raw` - TL;DR: I removed all YAML stuff and sorted both alphabetically, thus letting me do a normal diff in VSCode). The following list of packages to remove was the result:

Unfortunatley, that led to some dependency issues. As such, the list has gone through 3 extra iterations, until no depencencies were broken:

```
...The only problem is that this leaves our skipped dependencies still present on the system, as manually installed, leading to the following `dcli merge` output:
```
=== Unmanaged Packages ===

These are packages you installed manually:

  • bluez-utils
  • diffutils
  • gpm
  • gvfs
  • pulseaudio
  • xorg-fonts-encodings
  • xorg-server
  • xorg-server-common
  • xorg-setxkbmap
  • xorg-xauth
  • xorg-xkbcomp
  • xorg-xmodmap
  • xorg-xprop
  • xorg-xrdb
  • xorg-xwayland
  • org.freedesktop.LinuxAudio.Plugins.TAP [flatpak]
  • org.freedesktop.LinuxAudio.Plugins.swh [flatpak]
  • org.freedesktop.Platform [flatpak]
  • org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default [flatpak]
  • org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default [flatpak]
  • org.freedesktop.Platform.VAAPI.Intel [flatpak]
  • org.freedesktop.Platform.codecs-extra [flatpak]
  • org.freedesktop.Sdk [flatpak]
  • org.gnome.Platform [flatpak]
  • org.gnome.Platform [flatpak]
  • org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Breeze-Dark [flatpak]
  • org.kde.Platform [flatpak]
  • org.kde.Platform [flatpak]

```
~~*(Ignore the Flatpaks - it's intentional: DCli doesn't support Flatpak dependencies, and I don't want to explictly add Runtimes to my package list because they can change often.)*~~ This can be mitigated with the following command:
```bash
sudo pacman -D --asdeps bluez-utils diffutils gpm gvfs pulseaudio xorg-fonts-encodings xorg-server xorg-server-common xorg-setxkbmap xorg-xauth xorg-xkbcomp xorg-xmodmap xorg-xprop xorg-xrdb xorg-xwayland
```
After all of this, run `sudo pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qdtq)` a couple of times (unil it can't find packages anymore), to remove all orphans that came as the result of this debacle, **and then do `dcli sync` to re-add anything that may have gotten wrongfully removed!**

## Service cleanup
`dcli merge --services` gives the following list:
```
=== Unmanaged Services ===

These services are currently enabled but not in your dcli config:

  • choose-mirror
  • hv_kvp_daemon
  • hv_vss_daemon
  • livecd-alsa-unmuter
  • livecd-talk
  • ModemManager
  • pacman-init
  • sshd
  • systemd-networkd-wait-online
  • systemd-time-wait-sync
```
The simplest thing to do is to run:
```bash
systemctl disable choose-mirror.service hv_kvp_daemon.service hv_vss_daemon.service livecd-alsa-unmuter.service livecd-talk.service ModemManager.service pacman-init.service sshd.service systemd-networkd-wait-online.service systemd-time-wait-sync.service
```

## Defaults cleanup
Nothing was needed. Yaayy!

## Fixing `pacman-keyring`
For some absolutley braindead reason, ALG devs looked at [this forum post](https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=294854), saw that making `/etc/pacman.d/gnupg/` immutable-on-disk can lead to problems and thought „My golly, well wouldn't it be a splendid idea if we do that, too?” - and proceeded to ship a broken `/etc/pacman.d/gnupg/` (more specifically, the permissions are broken) that you can't perma-fix yourself (because even if you run `pacman-keyring --init` to fix the perms, any channges done to that file will not be persisted on disk and will vanish after a reboot). To make a fix that will *actually last* the following must be done:
```bash
sudo rm -v /etc/systemd/system/etc-pacman.d-gnupg.mount #To remove the pesky SystemD config file, that tells your OS to re-mount /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/ as a TempFS (which is what makes it immutable-on-disk)
sudo pacman-keyring --init #To fix the broken default permissions.
sudo pacman-keyring --populate #To install valid Arch keys. May no be necessary, but a) I think --init wipes the DB (I'm not sure, tho), and b) after all this mess, I don't trust ALG devs anymore, that they'll be competent enough to ship a valid keyring themselves.
```
