Description:
Shaman is a frontend to libalpm, this means that it's not calling pacman and showing output in a terminal, it is more an alternative frontend to pacman. It is capable of doing almost anything pacman can do, and it also features some addons, such as an interface to build packages from ABS. It also features automatic updates and upgrade notifications.

Description
kPacUpdate displays a small system tray icon which is green if your system is up to date and switches to yellow if there are any updates. It checks for updates periodically (currently 30 minutes, will be configurable soon) and switches color if there are updates. You can access a manual refresh by right clicking the icon.
There's a "Update now" entry if there are new updates (currently it simply executes konsole with pacman running for updates).
It's far from beeing complete (should emerge into something like alunn soon.)

Hi, I'm the main author of the Jacman front-end. It's implemented in Java, and before you worry, it looks great and runs as quick as any GUI app.
Description
Jacman provides an almost complete front-end to pacman, in a user-friendly way. Real-time searching of packages; full dependency trees and even "rollback" support. Many more great features to come!

Hi, i'm coding gtkPacman, a pygtk gui for pacman. I've reimplemented in pure python some pacman fetures (mostly db reading), while the pakages operations (add, remve, sync and so on...) are managed by pacman calls

Guzuta is a front end to pacman in the sense that it only provides a graphical interface and pacman is used for everything (although using libpypac is being planned), and it supports the most important features that you'd expect from pacman in what I consider a nice way.

I would appretiate it if the author of each front end posted a small (2-3 line) description of their creation, along with a homepage link and an AUR link (where applicable). Screenshots would also be nice.
This thread is only intended for this purpose and will be cleaned of other posts. If this thread ends up locked and you have a front end to add, feel free to PM any of the moderator staff and we will unlock it for you.
