iphitus 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2009 Chakra is just Arch/KDEmod with a few addons, all of which you can install straight onto Arch, If you've installed Arch already, you might as well persist with that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tyme 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) What is the reason shaman isn't ready for full replacement of pacman?I don't believe shaman is intended to replace pacman, I would say it's more the GUI alternative to pacman - it still uses the pacman libraries (libalpm). Which you use depends on whether you prefer a GUI- or a CLI-based package manager. Edited March 4, 2009 by tyme Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scarecrow 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2009 Shaman may sound like a good idea, but it still needs a lot of work. I've stopped using it, as my internet connection isn't terribly stable (frequent disconnections), and, while from console I just have to press ctrl+c to stop pacman/yaourt (or twice ctrl+c if using aria2 as the pacman downloader), with Shaman pushing cancel always locks libalpm and pacman, instead of stopping them. Chakra might, or might not turn out being a good distro. ATM it's of alpha quality, and its main DE of beta quality. But it does have some potential.
