CLUSTER ARCH-INTERFACE-LINUX · 12 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2022-03-27
Arch Linux package management tools
This cluster comprises terminal and browser utilities for Arch Linux package management, including TUIs, orphan removal, config editing, package browsing, and search aids. The dated entries appear one per month across nine distinct months from March 2018 to June 2026, showing a sparse and irregular timeline. The traction leaders are wtfutil-bin, paruz, and dude, each with 0 stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
