Hello pacman-dev list members, I'm the developer (meissna) behind the python libalpm wrapper: pyalpmm You can find more information in this thread (1st post): http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=60711&p=1 As a very short abstract: pyalpmm implements a thin very high level wrapper around the alpm library written in python. One of the main goals in the medium term are a transparent regular repos and aur support ... (like mixing aur and repo packaged in -S) Several steps are taken towards this goal, like building (mmacman -BI some_repo_or_aur_pkg) supports both transparently, searching ( mmacman -Ss query) also supports both: regular repos and aur. The next step is already the "-S functionality" milestone, which needs proper AUR pkg dependency resolution - this is in construction, or maybe "conception" ;) And, dunno if this is usual, but one line about me personally: My name is Markus Meissner, living and studying in Germany/Frankfurt - right now I'm in Munich for my graduation and I'm 25years old... So, hi all! Greets Markus
