Sorry it took so long to respond.
I am working on something along those lines. The code itself isn't that hard, though extensive changes need to be made. It is the actual installation process, or stability between different systems, as well as time that is the issue.
I am very big on choice, and the freedom of it. And I agree, people should have the choice of what AUR Manager they use. I have one in testing right now that checks to see if you have one of three different AUR Managers installed. If one of them is already installed, then it makes a VAR to replace the use of yaourt with your installed AUR Manager. Otherwise, if no AUR Manager is installed it still just installs yaourt. Which is why it isn't uploaded yet.
The plan is to set it to search for a specific file that bow will make on your computer. If that file does not exist it will search for an AUR Manager, and if one isn't installed then it will give a choice of the top 3 and yaourt (because i am a fan of it ) and then install the chosen AUR Manager. Then it will add that file. In the file will contain the name of the chosen AUR Manager. Once the file exists it will add the name that is in the file as a VAR ,skip the search, and go on to the next.
Though the code is somewhat convoluted, the user will see it give a choice one time then remember every other time. The experience should be smooth.
My biggest problem is time. But it is coming.
I should have an early version uploaded within two weeks.
VAR = Variable
As I have said before,
I am always delighted when people give feedback, whether positive or negative. It lets me know if I am going in the right direction.
So thank you Tuxinho.
kudos
