Hello!
At the moment I use pacman and AUR as they suppose to be used (at least thats what I try!) to update and manage my software. Now out of curiosity I installed Apper as GUI for software management. There's two things I don't understand:
- Is it possible to integrate AUR into the Apper software sources? Is there a plugin or something?
- I see there's many different software management backends for RPM or tools like Portage ... can these be used in conjunction with the arch default APT? I understand that almost everything can be found within the AUR and that this is the better way but as I can't integrate it into Apper (see my question above) I wonder whether using other sources and formats could be an alternative ...
thx for reading,

Arch uses pacman, not APT :-)
Some AUR helpers can mange packages from the official repos too https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_Helpers , so you can use a single frontend, but I don't know if apper can do that.

I have read the AUR helpers wiki and I know about the GUIs - AppSet is supposed to use AUR as it is mentioned there but appset-qt doesn't compile from AUR at the moment and hasn't been changed the last 6 month ... that's why I am asking whether it is possile to achieve the same thing with Apper/packagekit ...
thx, piedro

that was a typo in the original post: the default backend for Apper/packagekit for Arch is ALMP!
