The Aura Package Manager For Arch Linux

Hi community .anybody knows which terminal and Terminal font specially is used in video?

I have tried installing this, but after running makepkg and getting the name of the file that makepkg produces (aura-bin 3.2.7-1), it says 'target not found'
What is the name of the file it produces? The console says:
```Finished making: aura-bin 3.2.7-1```

damn this looks better than paru...

I disagree with the 2nd def. I love arch linux and have installed it many times. but manjaro dpkgs are way better

I need that shirt, can I have that shirt… GIVE ME THAT SHIRT

The T-Shirt really made the video look better.

Just tried this out. After attempting to run sudo aura -Au, I just get this message: aura >>= As of makepkg v4.2, building as root is no longer possible.

Just voted for brave now as you told me that I can do that, had NO idea :)

I speak Swahili, and that T-shirt's definition... 🤔

New to Arch, actually to Linux and this is very useful!
And yes, I, a noob installed Arch from scratch, it ain't hard people.

yet another package manager

YAPM

Okay yeah cool project, I'll still be using paru though.

Why isn't this included in pacman

So, I guess I'll try starting with Aura instead of pacman next time I clean install arch...

"Don't worry about Haskell."
250+ MB of useless archives, so I can skip one step in installing AUR packages.

Installed Aura after this video :)

The problem of AUR is lack of security.

This looks cooler than paru.

But haskell :((

Been through that before with pacaur etc. Then I settled with yay so far. But aura seems to look like a nice alternative. Thanks for the callout!

I tried to install htim and gave my computer permission to uninstall htop, but it's still here. What's going on?

DT never reviewed Qubes OS, did he? I´d love to see him try to live with it for a while and -most of all - trying to make it work with a tilling WM.

Should we learn and use nftables everywhere?

Oof, that shirt hit me. I admit, I'm too lazy for Arch from scratch.

FYI on paru you can remove an aur package and it's dependencies using -c/--cascade option

As a normal user, why would I install Arch Linux by taking up considerable amount of my time when I can install the same thing with some minor differences without going through all the tedious command lines process? Manjaro is very forward setting up and getting started right away.

I use ARCH Ubuntu

Why does Pamac never get any love? Its the AURH I use and its never done me wrong.

I wish paru will give same features one day 🥺🥺🥺🥺

Idk why they taught us like…cobol in my cs program and didn’t mention haskell once!!

Actually, I'd challenge you on your system being "bloated" because there's a lot of packages. As you say, it comes from all those windows managers and their dependencies. But that is not bloat - that is stuff you are actually using. My own system has 1162 packages, and it is bloated. Because I know a good chunk of that is actually stuff I am not using and I should get around to cleaning that shit up. :P

Just to react to the notion that "lots of stuff = bloat". It's only bloat if it's not useful. :P

(Then again, I also suspect that I have one of the most unbloated Gnome sessions on the planet after the fanatical cleaning session I put my systems through to get it down to BSPWM-level RAM usage. :P There's just a whole lot of other random garbage I should clean up after random saturday tinkering session number 422...)

I starting installing aura at the start of the video, and I'm still installing at the end of the video...
Only 4 GB of dependencies so far. lulz.

*GNU* /Linux?! :P

I been using aura for well over a year now. Been really good so far. I use aura-bin and compile my own xmonad with stack. I develop in Haskell and avoid the arch Haskell packages just due to size and conflicts.

Hey DT, what do you think about *Raspberry Pi Desktop for PC*? I think this has never been talked about. :)

what can aura do or can do better than paru?

What do you think about Exherbo distro?

1882 packages - a very bloated system :D i was thinking about mine and had a smile.

where can i buy that shirt ?

This snapshot feature makes me wonder if a config-file-based AUR package manager exists (a bit like NixPkgs, but for AUR). Could be very useful for dotfiles

Paru 4tw. Rust or bust.

Bruh just because it uses it uses haskell dosnt mean u have to use it

just use paru,no need to shit the system with haskel

I want that shirt lol

Hey DT,
The problem with Haskell is it has too much dependencies not that it has dependencies. When installing aura it has 100+ dependencies.

my packages arent orphans so much as seasonal workers whose deets i keep on file so i don't have to rehire them every time

pacman handles orphans

doesn't tell you how untrustworthy brave is
