Pacstall is an AUR-inspired package manager for Ubuntu and Debian written in Bash. It lets users install software from community 'pacscript' recipes built from binaries, git repos, AppImages, release artifacts, or .deb packages, and can build distributable .deb packages.
Use cases
- install AUR-like packages on Ubuntu
- build .deb packages from git repositories or AppImages
- install software from multiple community package repositories
- track -git packages that always build from the latest commit
- automate dependency installation for source packages
When to choose
- you want AUR-style package installation on Ubuntu or Debian
- you need to package upstream binaries or git builds as .deb files
- you prefer community repositories over a single centralized one
When to avoid
- you need a package manager for non-Debian-based distros
- you require strict security vetting of packages like official distro repos
- you want a GUI package manager
