cower [1] (superseded/replaced by auracle [2]) was introduced in GH-65 to configure the usage through pacaur [3] which was configured in GH-14.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pacaur has been discontinued by the original author some years ago, which used cower [1] (GitHub repository deleted and superseded by auracle [2]), this step was necessary anyway and I've switched to yay almost 2 years ago.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].

“cower“ (+ “pacaur“ configurations) snowblock decommission
Related to #248
cower (superseded/replaced by auracle) was introduced in #65 to configure the usage through pacaur which was configured in #14.
pacaurwas used since it was the cleanest AUR helper from a list of 20+ projects at the time, but some years ago finally the awesome yay project written in 💙 Go was started that is not just a shell/Python etc. wrapper aroundpacmanbut a great CLI + Go package that is based on the github.com/Jguer/go-alpm, a Go package with bindings tolibalpm. It also makes use of other fantastic Go packages like github.com/Morganamilo/go-pacmanconf and github.com/Morganamilo/go-srcinfo to ensure to reduce the requirement to “shell out“ topacman/makepkgas minimal as possible and use pure Go code and logic instead.This allowed me to also use and extend my
pacmanand 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pacaur has been discontinued by the original author some years ago, which used cower (GitHub repository deleted and superseded by auracle), this step was necessary anyway and I've switched to yay almost 2 years ago.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 will be removed while the data is still available through the Git repository history/logs.
