Shaman is deprecated. Just don't use it anymore. On Sat, 05 Jun 2010 08:07:32 +0300, Madhurya Kakati wrote:

Sorry there is no other alternative. The only solution is Shaman2 but currently is in Alpha stage. That means it is highly unstable and dangerous for your system. Arch will never provide a graphical tool for pacman. So if you can't live with this, then change to another distro

Never say never. Just curious, where does that come from ? Why couldn't a sufficiently motivated developer write a GUI frontend to libalpm good enough to get it packaged ? This actually happened with shaman, it was packaged in community by the main makepkg developer, Allan !

At least it'll never be in core. Good enough for me!

Yea. Whats wrong with a GUI frontend? People will use pacman or the frontend- whichever they prefer. I know arch's wants to keep it simple but providing a good frontend in the repos isnt a bad idea.

It's been discussed before and rejected. If you want to know reasons and logic, search the forums or the MLs. No sense in beating a dead horse. --

In principle this is okay but the question is was this rejected before or after the support for splitted packages in pacman? At example for this a GUI would be even better: pacman -Ss kdeplasma-addons -) If there is a chance that shaman get stable enough to step to extra this would be very nice but it is not a problem if not. See you, Attila

What about packagekit? It seemed fairly stable when I tried it (I stopped because it doesn't display messages about packages but I don't if shaman does either).
