Aura is a command-line package manager for Arch Linux and the Arch User Repository (AUR). It acts as a drop-in replacement for pacman, passing all pacman operations through unchanged while adding AUR-specific workflows: searching and building packages from the AUR, maintaining a local package cache for downgrades, taking JSON snapshots of installed package state for rollback, viewing and searching ALPM logs, identifying orphaned packages, analyzing licenses, and generating dependency graphs. The system integrates directly with pacman, makepkg, git, sudo/doas, shellcheck, and Graphviz, and uses a custom FAUR metadata server to query AUR package data efficiently. The primary implementation is a modern Rust workspace (aura-pm binary, aura-core library, and r2d2-alpm connection pool), with extensive localization via Project Fluent covering more than 20 languages. A legacy Haskell implementation remains in the repository but is superseded by the Rust rewrite, which is the actively maintained codebase.
pacman.zig is a faithful recreation of the classic Pacman arcade game implemented in the Zig programming language. It uses the Sokol cross-platform libraries for graphics, audio, and input handling, allowing it to run as a native desktop application or be compiled to WebAssembly for browser play. The game implements all original Pacman mechanics including Pacman movement, ghost AI with distinct behaviors for each ghost, dot and pill eating, bonus fruits, sound effects, score tracking, and level progression. The architecture follows a monolithic design with clear separation of concerns into game state management, game logic, rendering, audio, and input systems. Despite being contained primarily in a single source file, the code is well-organized with distinct sections for different subsystems. The implementation demonstrates attention to detail in replicating the original game's behavior and performance characteristics.
Paru is an AUR (Arch User Repository) helper and pacman wrapper written in Rust. It provides a command-line interface for searching, building, installing, and managing packages from both official Arch repositories and the AUR. The application features a modular architecture with distinct modules for configuration, dependency resolution, installation, and package operations. Key functionalities include interactive package selection, chroot builds, dependency handling, PGP signing, and configurable build options. Paru maintains pacman compatibility while extending it with AUR-specific features like development version tracking and local repository management.
