Aura Development Roadmap

1.2.0.0

  • The Great Abstraction
  • New -M option for building packages from the ABS.
  • This will make A and M run on the same backend.
  • Depedency checks will be unrestricted and beautiful.

1.3.0.0

  • Milestone for “legacy” Aura. Last stable version as a pacman-reliant AUR helper.

2.0.0.0

  • Aura becomes a core for multi-distro package management.
  • It exposes a Hook interface for writing distro-specific install behaviour.
  • These Hooks may or may not bolt directly to a preexisting package manager, as Aura 1 did.
  • The preferred method is to write Haskell bindings to the libraries those managers use, for more direct control.
