Function spawn_install_all 

Source 
pub fn spawn_install_all(items: &[PackageItem], dry_run: bool)
Expand description

What: Spawn a terminal to install a batch of packages.

Input:

  • items: Packages to install
  • dry_run: When true, prints commands instead of executing

Output:

  • Launches a terminal (or falls back to bash) running the composed install commands.

Details:

  • Official packages are grouped into a single pacman invocation
  • AUR packages are installed via paru/yay (prompts to install a helper if missing)
  • Prefers common terminals (GNOME Console/Terminal, kitty, alacritty, xterm, xfce4-terminal, etc.); falls back to bash
  • Appends a “hold” tail so the terminal remains open after command completion
  • During tests, this is a no-op to avoid opening real terminal windows.
