Hi, I’m not sure this is the right place for requesting packages, but i found this really popular, really good and free (GPL3) comic book reader and manager with some unique features named yacreader , it is available in the AUR but not in the official repos, and i thought it might a nice addition.
It is indeed. See the pinned post:
Please read before requesting the addition of a package to the Manjaro repos:
Be aware: unless there’s an obvious need (or e.g. the package is unique) the answer will probably be “no”, and especially so if it’s already in the AUR.
Maintaining packages take a lot of time. Adding a package is not a one-off event and requires work by the package maintainer. Therefore, unless the package maintainer uses the software it’s very unlikely they will maintain a new package.
General points “for” inclusion might include:
Serves unique function/use-case
Adds a definite benefit to a wide range of users
Actively maintained but infrequent updates
I use it
General points “against” inclusion might include:
Another alternative already available in the repos (e.g. browsers, media players)
Niche (e.g. scientific software)
Proprietary or restrictive license
Old, outdated, unmaintained, AUR package
High-frequency/daily updates (e.g. -git packages)
Unreleased/pre-release software
thanks for the kind reply, it cleared things out.
it has a some unique functions like auto-importing comics and manga tags from comicvine.
it is actively maintained but only updates every 6 or more months.
it is not proprietary (GPL3)
although it is available in the AUR, it is not a binary (it has to be compiled by every user).
