"AM" 9.4.1

[ivan-hc]

Allow usage of third party databases by exporting variables

Apps database in use

[ -z "$APPSDB" ] && APPSDB="$AMREPO/programs/$ARCH"
[ -z "$APPSLISTDB" ] && APPSLISTDB="$AMREPO/programs/$ARCH-apps"

Determine catalogue in use

[ -z "$AMCATALOGUEMARKDOWNS" ] && export AMCATALOGUEMARKDOWNS="https://portable-linux-apps.github.io/apps"
[ -z "$AMCATALOGUEICONS" ] && export AMCATALOGUEICONS="https://portable-linux-apps.github.io/icons"

To determine alternative sources, its enough to "export" the above variables

export APPSDB="https://url-to-site.something"
export APPSLISTDB="https://url-to-site.something/list.txt"

catalogues are optional, you may not have description or URL btw

export AMCATALOGUEMARKDOWNS="https://url-to-site.something/markdown-files/file.md"

you can leave the url to icons as is, but if you have a better source, consider that what you install apps, the icon must have the same name of the argument

export AMCATALOGUEICONS="https://url-to-site.something/app.png"

Finally, if you still want to use the main CLI of AM, you can prevent updating AM and modulesfrom a different path

export AMSYNC=1

so you can keep AM and its modules as they are, without updates.
