"cower" (+ "pacaur" configurations) snowblock decommission (#258)
cower [1] (superseded/replaced by auracle [2]) was introduced in GH-65 to configure the usage through pacaur [3] which was configured in GH-14. `pacaur` was used since it was the cleanest AUR [4] helper from a list of 20+ projects at the time, but some years ago finally the awesome yay [5] project written in 💙 Go [6] was started that is not just a shell/Python etc. wrapper around `pacman` but a great CLI + Go package that is based on the github.com/Jguer/go-alpm [7], a Go package with bindings to `libalpm` [8]. It also makes use of other fantastic Go packages like github.com/Morganamilo/go-pacmanconf [9] and github.com/Morganamilo/go-srcinfo [10o] to ensure to reduce the requirement to "shell out" to `pacman`/`makepkg` as minimal as possible and use pure Go code and logic instead. This allowed me to also use and extend my `pacman` and AUR workflow on top of my absolute favorite and main language Go. Since pacaur has been discontinued by the original author some years ago, which used cower [1] (GitHub repository deleted and superseded by auracle [2]), this step was necessary anyway and I've switched to yay almost 2 years ago. Therefore the "cower" snowblock (and related pacaur configurations) are not required anymore and have been removed while the data is still available through the Git repository history/logs [11].
