is it still safe if i keep using it?

If it still works then it’s fine. You should review the PKGBUILD if and when a new maintainer adopts it.

[AriAsyqolani]

how do i see it?

[jonathon]

How did you look at it the first time?

It’s in the AUR, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pamac-all

AUR PKGBUILDs

The AUR is one of the safest ways to install software, just because it is so transparent. But it does not tolerate just looking up the package in Pamac and clicking on the Build button, or doing yay package_name blindly. It requires that the user knows what’s going on. That’s why I recommend trying to build at least one package manually, to understand what’s going on, before using an AUR helper like pamac or yay. yay has a nice feature that allows you to inspect a PKGBUILD file before installin…

How does this announcement affect the development of the pamac-aur-git package?

Not at all.

Recently there has been trouble after trouble with pamac. The problems were always fixed but the program was a real “pain.” As it is really a Manjaro program, and now that no one is maintaining it for EndeavourOS, I removed it from our computers and now, when I need to search for a program, I shall use bauh. This program works quite well; I understand that octopi works well also. Of course I realize that these are not “native” EndeavourOS programs but I believe that they are Arch programs and they are included in the AUR. By the way, I use the bauh program to search for applications but I always use the Terminal to install them.
