nala VS pikaur

Use nala instead: https://gitlab.com/volian/nala

Try switching to Nala for your apt front end. Way better experience.

I do like Nala front-end for "apt". I'm new to it, but it would likely be at the top of my script.

You can use nala and do a sudo nala fetch command to find the fastest repo servers.

You’d need to be on testing or sid for nala. It’s also available from the website and you can install with dpkg.

Nala is available on Stable, but you have to use our repositories as specified in our installation instructions https://gitlab.com/volian/nala/-/wikis/Installation.

nala says hello.

I know that Nala has support for this, but it's one of the lesser used features so there could be some bugs present. https://gitlab.com/volian/nala

idk anything like this, but you can use Nala, to make apt looks better. :)

Have a look here. Did you not search for the answer? That's part of the Arch(based) ethos. We tend to like to learn by reading whatever is required. :)

I was also looking for something nicer for Arch, but haven't found anything as nice as Nala. For now, I switched to pikaur, which at least displays updates in a much clearer way.

pikaur is a pretty great tool.

Nice, but this definately needs a dependency resolver, otherwise it can only install a fraction of the available AUR packages. Since you're already using python, you may adapt your whole code on top a another python-based AUR helper like pikaur. You maybe also could take at the dep resolver of my ABS project. It's python, too, maybe not as clean as pikaur's code but simpler and not too integrated.

git clone https://github.com/actionless/pikaur.git python3 ./pikaur/pikaur.py -S pikaur

pikaur!
