YAOURT (this was the easiest to install):

APACMAN
Looking for an AUR package manager for archlinux, I thought that apacman, a clone of packer no longer maintained could do the job. I was not able to set it up. AUR helpers wiki page:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_helpers
However once yaourt installed, it was an easy job to install apacman:
Code: Select all
yaourt -S apacman
yaourt -S apacman-deps
yaourt -S apacman-utils
sudo pacman -S customizepkg
Searching more in depth, it seems that pacaur relying on cower would would be a very good alternative:

As there is a problem with the gpg signature in the procedure, there is a turnaround with makepkg -s --skippgpcheck:

Code: Select all
$ sudo pacman -S expac yajl bash-completion curl openssl
Code: Select all
$ cd ~
$ curl -L -O https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/cower.tar.gz
$ tar -zxvf cower.tzr.gz
$ cd cower
$ makepkg
$ sudo pacman -U cower-10-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
Code: Select all
$ cd ~
$ curl -L -O https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/pacaur.tar.gz
$ tar -zxvf pacaur.tar.gz
$ cd pacaur
$ makepkg -s --skippgpcheck
$ sudo pacman -U pacaur-*.pkg.tar.xz
