Or, have actual user repos like a normal distro.
- ptx 2mo agoWhat do you mean? Their package manager allows you to add additional repositories, if that's what you want.
- yjftsjthsd-h 2mo agoHow is that different?
- jolmg 2mo agoThey do. There's a list of them on the Arch Wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unofficial_user_repositories https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unofficial_user_repositorie... The problem with user repos vs the AUR is that you're trusting the maintainer behind them instead of inspecting the PKGBUILD and fetched sources yourself.
- Pay08 2mo agoAnd they're incredibly unpopular. The entire problem is that people weren't inspecting PKGBUILDs. At least with user repositories, you have someone who can build a reputation for trustworthy packages. There's a reason why every other distro does user repos.
