This is a minor follow up to https://codeberg.org/xmobar/xmobar/pulls/764, so see that one as well if you got here because the plugin told you it's deprecated.
This change consists of:
- turning the deprecated constructor in a pattern synonym for the new
ones (which are also pattern synonyms for calling convenience),
- dropping the `PacmanUpdatesDeprecated` type entirely,
- adding documentation with usage examples.
Improve `PacmanUpdates`2026-03-08T17:56:49ZEnrico Maria De Angelisenricomaria.dean6elis@gmail.com2026-03-06T16:10:10Zurn:sha1:508feb2abf27ea991bbcc0ba163e3f64cd60b67b
Recently, I've seen the usefulness in knowning whether one of the pending updates is a kernel update (which means we should most likely reboot after next system update), and also whether the running kernel is older than the installed kernel package (which means we've probably not rebooted yet), so I thought I should update this plugin.
However, the feature of knowing whether a kernel update is contained in the available updates requires that one knows the kernel package name, so that's to be a `String` input to the plugin. But one might not want to pass it, and be happy with just the detection of whether the running kernel is older than the installed one.
Since recently, I've been studying type families and also come across pattern synonyms, I thought I could leverage these, so I thought I could parametrize the plugin over kind `Bool`, and branch on it to provide the different APIs; then I could use type synonyms to lift the burden of having to use type application at the user code.
Furthermore, rather than still customizing the message by asking the user to provide `String`s for the various cases (0 updates, 1 update, 2+ updates), I thought it was better to ask the caller to provide a function that accepts the relevant inputs (`Int` number of updates, `Bool` telling whether such and such) and turns them into a `String`.
With this change, I'm
- renaming the previous type `PacmanUpdates` to
`PacmanUpdatesDeprecated`
- deprecating such type (with a pragma and by printing a clickable
note in the plugin text) with the intention of deleting it in a year
from now,
- preserving its data ctor's to avoid breaking existing code right
now,
- creating a new `PacmanUpdates` type that is parametrized over kind
`Bool`
- the `True` instance allows passing the name of the kernel package
that the plugin uses to detect whether there's a pending kernel
update
- the `False` instance doesn't,
- accordingly the two instances accept from the caller a printing
function with different signature (see haddock comments for
details),
- hiding (i.e. not exporting) the constructor of such new type,
- provided pattern synonyms to more conveniently create a
`PacmanUpdates False` (for `PacmanUpdates True` is just the same as
the ctor),
- changing the approach with which the final `String` is produced,
from asking the user to provide a bunch of some sort of template
`String`, to asking them for a function that produces a `String`
given the required inputs (e.g. the number of available updates).
Remove deprecated ArchUpdates plugin2026-02-28T08:05:11ZEnrico Maria De Angelisenricomaria.dean6elis@gmail.com2026-02-28T07:51:16Zurn:sha1:39fd70308c3aef5402abe7152ade76ff7bb331bb
Users should have long switched to PacmanUpdates, as communicated in #723.
Furthemore, we had forgotten to list PacmanUpdates in the plugins wrappable in Runnable. Fixed now.
