Replace the cramped FMRI badge and install-cmd div with full-width
copyable blocks that have labeled headers, single-line horizontal
scrolling (no wrapping), and a copy-to-clipboard button. The button
shows a checkmark on success. The install command copy strips the
leading $ prompt.
Read last-modified from catalog.attrs instead of using get_info() which
falls back to current time when the package directory scan finds nothing.
Widened publisher card grid min-width from 320px to 420px so the
formatted date doesn't get cut off.
The external CSS file wasn't loading on the deployed server despite
being embedded in the binary — likely a route matching or reverse
proxy issue. Moved all CSS into an inline <style> tag in the base
template. Since Askama compiles templates into the binary, this
guarantees the styles render with the HTML on first paint with zero
external dependencies. HTMX JS remains as an embedded route handler.
Static files (CSS, JS) were served via ServeDir using CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR
which only exists on the build machine, not on deployed servers. This
caused: white unstyled page, always-visible loading indicators, and
broken manifest loading.
- Embed style.css and htmx.min.js into the binary via include_str!
- Serve them from dedicated handlers with proper content-type and caching
- Move Google Fonts from CSS @import to <link> tags with preconnect
for non-blocking font loading
- Remove ServeDir dependency from routes
Fix package detail 404: FMRI in URL paths now uses just name@version
instead of the full pkg://publisher/name@version, since the publisher
is already a separate path segment. This affected package detail,
manifest loading, dependency links, and search result links.
Drop Pico.css CDN dependency — it was fighting the custom dark theme
causing visual issues. Replaced with a complete standalone stylesheet
with proper reset, giving full control over the design.
Design overhaul:
- Dark "Solaris Engineering" theme with amber accent colors
- JetBrains Mono + Source Sans 3 typography via Google Fonts
- Publisher cards with accent borders and stats layout
- Styled package tables with hover states
- Breadcrumb navigation and active nav indicators
- Colored dependency type badges (require/optional/incorporate)
- Terminal-style install command display
- Floating pill-shaped P5I cart with enter animation
- Custom scrollbars for manifest viewer
Bug fixes:
- P5I cart now hidden by default (was visible with 0 items)
- "Updated" timestamp now formatted via format_packaging_date
- Package count falls back to list_packages when get_info reports 0
Add a human-facing web interface at /ui/ for browsing IPS package
repositories. Uses Askama templates, HTMX for interactivity, and
Pico.css for styling.
Routes:
- /ui/ - Publisher list with package counts
- /ui/packages/:publisher - Paginated package list
- /ui/search - Search with HTMX search-as-you-type
- /ui/package/:publisher/*fmri - Package detail with lazy manifest
- /ui/p5i - P5I file generation for installing package sets
