NeoArch GUI Package manager

Hello all! I have been developing NeoArch, a contemporary GUI package manager for Arch Linux.
The application combines pacman, AUR, Flatpak, and npm into a single neat interface — the hassle of using several tools is over!
Visit my project at: https://github.com/Sanjaya-Danushka/Neoarch

Re: NeoArch GUI Package manager

flatpak, nodejs and npm are things not everyone wants to install. You should list them as optdepends and check for their presence at runtime.

It appears this is actually a python application , you should look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Python … guidelines .

Blending between the repos and unvetted stuff like the AUR (but also npm, maybe flatschpak) is the cardinal sin of all pacman wrapping AUR helpers.
GUI or not, it's terrible practice. Don't do that, resp. make overly clear to the user what's happening and the implications.
