This is insane. Almost everyone is getting threatent to their security, for them i would say just one thing. There is a tool named virus total, please scan it and you will know. The whole source code is open source, you can just view it, there should be zero risk about viruses for a tool that has already been open sourced. You can also check my repo with any of the Agentic AIs, and detect if it poses any malware

I think people are just being overly cautious. Especially with the recent AUR attacks lately. I wouldn’t take it personal.

To clarify, not almost everyone. Just a few of us… who readily acknowledge our paranoia… of a new post from a new forum member with a new app, that’s a GUI without screenshots, which has raised some concerns by people who scrub through build packages and report back to the community.
Don’t take it personally.
Just because you are making your software available doesn’t mean everyone will be first to try it. 
Again, I repeat: Welcome to the forum!

It was 2019 a cool breeze flowed through the super market in Wuhan, Central China. After that cool breeze washed over the world, came 2022. A cool breeze flowed through Kiev, Ukraine along the Dnipro river. All hell broke loose. And then in Nov, 2024 an overweight imbecile …
There are pretty solid and valid reasons to be paranoid.
Now where did I put my pint of beer and white powder…

@cscs nice to see you’re capable of constructive criticism…

On a note to the OP, Looks great. I can see this easily replacing my current gui based manager. Thanks for your sharing your creation!
Look good and seems to work. I will mess around with it this weekend. Good job!
@Junaid433 it looks like this unapproved call for pacman -Sy is still in your source. When do you plan to implement the recommended changes outlined in the ArchWiki (bash script checkupdates) that @UncleSpellbinder linked? I’ll hold off trying this app until the ‘partial upgrades’ bug is fixed. Looks good though! I’m following with interest.

Agree completely.
Fix: 8f4cf44
Parital upgrades should no longer occur, I’m also working to integrate with ALPM so package management is more safe.

I would suggest not trying to do this.
pacman is the frontend to ALPM.
Just use pacman.
Other package managers that tried to circumvent it and use ALPM directly have just about always been terrible. Cant think of a single one that is even considered reliable.
What would even be the rationale?
( Pacman is perfectly safe. If one is unfamiliar with pacman, and hence operates it in a manner that is or believes it to be unsafe .. that is not a reason for it to be avoided. On the contrary such a dev/user is likely far less able to safely/properly reinvent the functions that pacman already provides. )
Having previously provided a GUI that uses pacman in a way that is inherently a partial-upgrade should invigorate a review of the pacman documentation, not half-cocked ideas about replacing pacman.
( Exhibit A : PAMAC )
Your software is promising and has potential. It has a nice GUI.
Once you take into account the feedback from the community, gain its trust and polish it up, I’m sure you will find an audience who will appreciate using it.
Thanks for posting here and sharing your work! I follow this thread with interest.
Keep up the good work and good luck!

I’ve been quietly following this thread with interest as well. Once things are stable and ready for general use, I’ll finally have a solid reason to move my wife’s laptop from Manjaro to EndeavourOS with GuiMan.
The only reason she’s stuck with Manjaro is Pamac — even though I’ve secretly been updating everything with pacman behind the scenes.
Don’t judge me — happy wife, happy life

Sorry to hear that. I wasn’t quite sure which reaction icon would be appropriate for your message

It was years ago, and quite amicable.

Thank you for sugesstions. I’m sticking with pacman for now
GuiMan is designed to be distribution-agnostic, it works seamlessly with any system that uses the pacman package manager, ensuring broad compatibility across Arch based distributions. Thank you for your interest!

UI looks good on screenshots. Sadly unable to test it. Error making build.
It built OK for me. I installed via YAY.

@Junaid433 First impressions, looks good!
My only criticism so far is it ignores the system theme and uses its’ own light/dark mode option (fault of GTK?). Also, the ‘collapse sidebar’ button looks truncated. I’m on KDE Plasma not Gnome.
How does GuiMan scan/handle orphans? I’m guessing it uses: pacman -Qdtq | pacman -Rns -
It detected one orphan, but when I ran yay -Yc the system detected many. Odd that the packages don’t overlap.
