Bringing AUR to All Linux Distros +====== +LURE is a new open-source project that aspires to become the AUR for all distros. + +![First Look at LURE! Bringing AUR to All Linux Distros][1] + +**AUR** (Arch User Repository) is a community-driven repository for Arch-based Linux distributions. + +**Long story short:** it helps install packages not available in the official repositories and lets you get the latest releases. + +I found it helpful with my experience on [Manjaro Linux][2]. + +Technically, AUR builds a package from the source and then utilizes the package manager (pacman) to install it. + +You can also explore more about it in our detailed guide: + +[What is AUR? How to use AUR in Arch and Manjaro Linux?][3] + +📢 Now that you have a good idea about AUR, a **new open-source project**aims to bring the utility of AUR to all the distributions. + +The project is called **Linux User REpository (or LURE).** + +> 💡 The LURE project is in its alpha stage, announced by the creator a few weeks back. So, it is entirely a work in progress. + +### A Project Like This Already Exists? + +![lure adding repo][5] + +**No.** + +Developers have tried making an AUR alternative, but for a specific distribution. Like [makedeb Package Repository][6] for Debian. + +LURE is an ambitious idea that could work on any distribution of your choice. + +It seeks to be a tool that helps you create native packages for your distribution using a script similar to **PKGBUILD**. + +[Creating a PKGBUILD to Make Packages for Arch Linux - It’s FOSS][7] + +The developer mentions some of the technical details in a [Reddit announcement post][9]: + +> My project is called LURE, short for Linux User REpository. It builds native packages and then installs them using the system package manager, just like the AUR. It uses a build script similar to the AUR's PKGBUILD to build the packages. +> +> It is written in pure Go, which means that it has zero dependencies after it's built, other than any privilege escalation command (`sudo`, `doas`, etc.) and any one of the supported package managers, which currently are: `pacman`, `apt`, `apk` (Alpine Linux, not Android), `dnf`, `yum`, and `zypper`. + +**Sounds exciting!** + +[LURE Project Repo][10] + +You can also explore more about it on its [GitHub mirror][11]. + +### Using LURE + +You do not have to install an additional package manager to make it work; it works automatically with your system's package manager. + +So, if it does not find a package in its repo (or any of its added repo), it moves to the system's default repo and installs it from there. Just like I installed/removed **neofetch** on my system using the lure command: + +![lure neofetch remove][12] + +While the project is in early development, it offers [binary packages][13] for various distributions allowing you to install and test them. + +![][14] + +Currently, its repository includes one project from the creator itself. But you can try to add a repo and build/install things. + +For the sake of convenience, I tried installing the package in its repo: + +![][15] + +The command looks like this: + +``` +lure in itd-bin +``` + +On its [official documentation page][16], you can read more about its usage to build/install/add repositories. + +Some of the planned features for future releases include: + +* Automated install script +* Automated docker-based testing tool +* Web interface for repos + +### What Would Make It Better? + +Well, for starters, this is an excellent project. If you are someone who used Arch in the past or want to move away from Arch Linux, this will be a good tool for you. + +However, for most end-users and non-Arch Linux newbies, something like the [Pamac GUI package manager][17] with LURE support should be the icing on the cake. + +Of course, at its current stage, it needs support from open-source contributors. So, if you like the idea, feel free to contribute improvements to the project! + +*💭 What do you think about LURE?
