Replaces the raw package modules at 76 call sites with package_install, moves
each role's distribution mapping into its own meta/packages.yml, and turns the
inventory PACKAGES variable from source-keyed literal names into a list of
declared package ids. The lint that forbids the raw modules is enabled here,
because the migration burns it down from 76 offenders to zero.

Removes sys-aur, sys-aur-install and sys-package. The AUR build user, the
passwordless pacman rule and the inventory-driven install are part of the plan
the action plugin executes, so the roles no longer carry them.

Declaring the mappings surfaced breakage the raw modules had hidden: on Debian
the `which` binary comes from debianutils, jrnl is in no Debian or Ubuntu
suite, chromium-browser is absent from Debian stable, JDK 11 is unobtainable on
RedHat, wireguard had no RedHat branch at all, qbittorrent was built from the
AUR although Arch ships it in extra, and desk-docker installed a Docker variant
that conflicts with the one sys-svc-container installs.

GCC

Description

This Ansible role installs the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) on Arch Linux systems. GCC is a standard compiler suite supporting C, C++, and other programming languages. It is a core component for compiling and building software from source.

Learn more about GCC on Wikipedia, the official GCC homepage, and the Arch Linux Wiki.

Overview

Tailored for Arch Linux, this role installs GCC and optionally sets up additional development utilities. It ensures the package is installed via the system package manager and ready to compile code in a variety of programming languages.

Cosmos

The diagram places GCC in the Infinito.Nexus cosmos: the components it deploys (capabilities), the central services it consumes (dependencies), and its outward reach (federation and bridged external networks).

Solid 1:1 edges are fixed relationships; dashed 0..1 edges are conditional (enabled only in matching deployments). Node markers show the role's deploy modes (💻 host, 🐳 compose, 🐝 swarm); ❌ marks a service that is explicitly turned off, and ⚙️ an Ansible role dependency declared in meta/main.yml.

Purpose

The purpose of this role is to automate the provisioning of a development-ready environment by ensuring the GCC toolchain is properly installed and available.

Features

  • Installs GCC: Uses pacman to install the gcc package.
  • Minimal Setup: No unnecessary dependencies are installed.
  • Reusable Role: Can be used as a foundational component for software development, CI/CD pipelines, and build environments.
