modren's Issues

Super awesome project! Is it dead?

No commits in 6 months. That sucks because this is really great. I'd love to help out in reviving this project. I dont have technical know how but I can help with things like docs, online communities, etc.

Use tauri instead of electron

Maybe it is a good idea now that it is starting to see the possibility of using tauri as a rendering engine, perhaps among the advantages it has I can highlight:

• It is lighter than Electron (the binary usually weighs about 15mb maximum).
• It generates a binary with all the necessary (binary, Appimage or .deb).
• Written in Rust which can give us a good handling for the "back" part.

Repository - Web Page

Don't use pkexec for flatpak

Flatpak is executed with pkexec in installation.js line 110 and installation.js line 119.
This really isn't a good idea, it'd be better to execute it without pkexec and using the --user flag.
Another thing is that maybe it'd be better to just add the flathub repo as flathub instead of flathub-modren, since having two repos (assuming the user added flathub before) with two different names just makes stuff more complicated.

I'm missing an option to add whole repositories.

AS the title states, I don't see how one would/could add whole external repositories .... or was it never meant to do so?

Add support for using EAPI-based package managers and Arch-based package managers

I use Gentoo Linux as my daily driver, but I used to use fedora. However, you have no support for the package manager I use, which is called Portage. Maybe go to the Gentoo Wiki to find out more about Portage. And maybe also include support for Arch Linux.

add deb-get as an backend

while true that deb-get has no GUI, i feel like Modren could be a GUI for deb-get~
it has quite a few nice packages available that are currently missing in modren.
deb-get can be treated like apt-get in this respect
