A graphical front end for pacman and the AUR - built with Tcl/Tk
This simple programme allows you to View the packages available in those pacman repositories which have been enabled in the pacman configuration file (/etc/pacman.conf) and to Install, Upgrade and Delete those packages. It also includes packages which have been installed from other sources - either from AUR or locally.
The only dependencies are pacman, tcl, tk, a terminal and wmctrl. Pacman is always used to install, update, delete and synchronize the pacman packages and database. Therefore the entries in the pacman configuration file will always be respected.
Note: Wmctrl relies on the window title set for the terminal. In order to use konsole the profile must be set to use the window title set by the shell.
A browser, an editor, pacman-contrib (for paccache to clean the package cache), pkgfile for faster retrieval of package files, xwininfo for fine control of terminal windows.
