[Request] Add markers to track modified packages #100

@xiota

Description

@xiota

Currently, manually interfered packages are marked with an optdep on chaotic-interfere. Interfered packages can be listed with: pactree -rsd1 -o1 chaotic-interfere

Automatic corrections and custom pkgbuilds are not marked. Marking them would make finding package sources easier when debugging, as well as improve transparency around packages that differ from AUR.

Suggestions (open to renaming or revision).

  • chaotic-autocorrect to mark packages that were automatically modified by Toolbox.

    • Some changes are made blindly. Detecting whether they had any effect may not be worthwhile.
  • chaotic-custom to mark packages that use an alternate/custom git repo.

    • Marking by alternate repo allows the change to be made in toolbox, rather than by editing each custom pkgbuild.
    • While split packages are not necessarily "modified". Marking them could make them easier to manage.
    • Maybe the git url could be included in the optdep description.
      chaotic-custom: https://example.com/example/package.git
