-rwxrwx--- au
You can use au
📲 to backup you installation files in Termux, i.e. debs. If you find your system unstable after updating, you can try to use dpkg --purge pkg_name
and then dpkg --install pkg_name
from /sdcard/debs
to downgrade packages to a previous version of a package in the hope of regaining system stability in Termux.
You should use au
from your $PATH
. To see your $PATH
, type $PATH
+enter/return. Then use mv au destination_directory
to move au
to your $PATH
. au
+enter/return will update and backup your Termux Packages in three keystrokes!
Every time you want to apt update && apt upgrade
or pkg up
, you will also be backing up your former installation debs to /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.termux/txdebs
by using au
. Ideally, you should change /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.termux/txdebs
to an external mirco SD card destination in lines 8 and 10 of au
to save space on device.
If you find your system unstable, you can use dpkg --purge pkg_name
and then dpkg --install pkg_name
from /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.termux/txdebs
to downgrade packages to a previous version of a package in the hope of regaining package stability.
