Try with the '--aur' switch:

./pp -S --aur gns3

Edit: Looks like pp can do only what pacman can, so no AUR support. You can use pacget for that.

Re: powerpill portable can not find GNS3 and install it

If you want to use powerpill with the AUR you need bauerbill

I think it would probably be easiest to just get the source and the pkgbuild if you want to grab it on a different machine though as I do not know if there is a portable version of bauerbill.

Re: powerpill portable can not find GNS3 and install it

there is no another way I tell powerpill , get GNS3 and I can install it , why we do not have GNS3 by default in Arch

Because its in the AUR and no dev/TU has seen fit to bring it to the repos

Why don't you just grab the tarball and sources on your work computer then build it on your home computer?

You expect to use Arch without wanting to solve the FOUR dependencies of gns3? Its not like you'd have to spend hours going through them.

I check this link
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23825
and I see GNS3 has many dependency and other packages are depend on GNS3 has many dependency too , so install it with source is so hard
