@spsf64 I first tried to push a PR on the Chris @Cromer repo.
here : https://github.com/cromerc/pamac-classic/pulls
Meawhile I can easily publish a temporary package, since I already built the PKGBUILD for myself.

@nadir, good to know! Can you provide a PKGBUILD for us or create a new package like "pamac-classic-bin"? TIA

Hi, I pushed a PR for this program to work again. The version is here https://github.com/boussou/pamac-classic
Only AUR is not fixed - I tried but failed in a timeboxed attempt.

spsf64, I like GUI too (altough I use it only for information about packages) but there's one bonus about the terminal: AUR helpers don't depend on any framework and will always work. Whereas the GUI will only work until the developers of the framework update (break) it. I stopped relying on pamac-classic for this very reason, because developers always try to fix what works...
spsf64 commented on 2025-07-07 02:27 (UTC)
@sudobash418 thanks for replying and maintaining this package; it's sad to see such great program being abandoned by the original developer...
sudobash418 commented on 2025-07-07 00:25 (UTC)
@spsf64 Unfortunately not :/
Disabling AUR support entirely is supported upstream via a meson configuration option, but re-enabling search and update checks alone would require patches throughout the vala source code.
That said, if anyone were to submit a tested patch that adds a meson option to specifically remove AUR build/install support (DISABLE_AUR_BUILD perhaps), I would be happy to add it to the package (and use it instead of DISABLE_AUR).

@rado84 thanks, I am aware of yay/tryzen options, I just like GUI apps!
rado84 commented on 2025-07-06 22:44 (UTC)
@spsf64, you don't need pamac-classic or any other GUI tool for that. You can simply instruct trizen, yay or any other AUR helper to search only in AUR and quite frankly, I like how it displays the results - way better than what pamac-classic displays anyway.
Simply use this command: $ trizen --aur -Ss [packagename] or $ yay --aur -Ss [packagename]
This will instruct trizen/yay to search in AUR only for the mentioned package.

@sudobash418 is it possible to re-enable the AUR ability of searching and just checking outdated packages? TIA

I've just pushed
7.3.0-3, which includes the following (overdue) changes:There seem to be a few bugs related to downloading files still.
Unfortunately, I no longer use pamac-classic, nor do I have experience with Vala, nor do I have much time to investigate the cause of the bugs.
If anyone wants to take over maintainership (or be a co-maintainer) to fix these issues, let me know.

Probably related to this: https://git.cromer.cl/cromer/pamac-classic/issues/12
AUR has been broken in pamac-classic for a while now due to changes on Arch Linux's side of things. If anyone can fix and do a pull request, I will merge it. But right now I don't have time to investigate myself and is at the bottom of my priority list.
