show repo

show "AUR" or "GROUP" or "MANJ" in a column in front of package names. this should make it easier to see where the package comes from.

it also makes it easy to identify package groups.

new idea:
show "PKG" for packages in the manjaro repositories, "GRP" for package groups, and "AUR" for packages from the AUR.

because of the newest feature - a preview window with package information - this issue becomes much harder to integrate in pure bash than i thought:
https://forum.manjaro.org/t/pacui-a-simple-bash-frontend-for-pacman-and-yaourt-pacaur/677/260

the package information (and package group information) clearly shows the different repositories and package groups.
therefore, i consider this issue solved.

the package information is also shown for packages from the AUR. this was another problem i had and i consider solved by now.

something like this might be useful, when packages can be installed from:

  • system repositories
  • AUR
  • snap store
  • flatpack hub

in this case, it would be nice to have a mark, whether a package is already installed on the system or not.
