Gatekeeping the word "software" here?
Here's something not in the AUR. Tested on arch
Clearly we need an Arch version of rule 34 and rule 35
Rule 34a: If linux software exists, it's in the AUR. No exceptions.
Rule 35a: If linux software is not in the AUR, it will be made available in the AUR.
I don't intend on pushing that one to the AUR. It's not worth it.
Maybe I'll make an AppImage at most.
I don't know any formal requirements for it being on AUR, but I just feel like this one does not fit there.
Someone will put the AppImage in AUR
