Software Center.

Antoine

Hello every one. I don't if i've the good tag but I've question you build a great software-manager but no automatic-research and no snap or flatpak. Why ?
And why there is no acces like aur and graphic way to compile like on arch based ?

Justin

Snap and/or flatpak will be supported in future versions of the Software Center.
Arch doesn't (that I'm aware of) have a graphical way to compile things.

Antoine

great news ! They have pamac. And you can activ and compile graphicly if you want. And for automaticly research when you tape something like the gnome software does ? ( sorry for my fault).

I'm guessing there is a translation error here because I don't understand what you're trying to say.

pamac is not a magic push button compiler / packaging tool. It just has the ability to install things via the AUR (Arch User Repository) which itself is just a heap of community made packages which Arch does not officially support in their main repository. There is no magic, somebody still went to the effort of figuring out how to compile and package it, example https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=budgie-desktop-git

Solus does not have their own version of the AUR (SUR) and has no intention of ever having one, in addition anything built specifically for Arch is not going to work on Solus.

As for "automatic research" I can only assume you mean to say that Solus software center has no
"automatic search when you type something"

In which case if the developers choose to implement that feature they would do so with the planned software center rewrite.

the software centre does have a search function. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "automatic search"

synth-ruiner I'm not quite sure what you mean by "automatic search"

Perhaps when the result updates with each character that's typed? The result starts out very general, but then narrows down to the final version as you type.

Antoine

synth-ruiner Yes but we need to the category research for research why we can't reasearch from any category we are Sorry for my fault.

synth-ruiner

Antoine ah, I get it. it's also not consistent with Nautilus and Rhythmbox that have their search functions in the headerbar...

Justin

synth-ruiner Press Ctrl+F and you'll get to search far faster than with a mouse.

Antoine

synth-ruiner Yes ! It's that 🙂 I hope it will come in futur update

synth-ruiner

Justin thanks. I generally search with eopkg search anyway. but I think it's valid that a user would want to search within a specific category
