minus-square@Lem453@lemmy.calinkfedilink1•1 year agoCan AUR be used by other distros like Debian or fedora?
minus-square@D_Air1@lemmy.mllinkfedilink3•1 year agoTechnically yes, but practically no. For the same reasons that manjaro might struggle with the aur even though it is technically arch based.
minus-squaretrevor (he/they)linkfedilinkEnglish2•edit-21 year agoUnfortunately, no, but you can get kind of close for Debian distros with LURE. EDIT: Apparently LURE is supposed to be distro-agnostic, so it’d probably work for EL too.
minus-squaretrevor (he/they)linkfedilinkEnglish2•1 year agoYeah. I haven’t looked at the code that closely, but it looks like they account for various differences between distros.

Don’t the file structure guidelines differ across distros?
Yeah. I haven’t looked at the code that closely, but it looks like they account for various differences between distros.
