pacman-glib is an abstraction layer on top of alpm, making it easier for GLib developers to expose package management features in their applications on Arch Linux. I began this project because I didn’t want to manually write Vala bindings for alpm itself, although perhaps creating this ended up being more difficult… However, in any case it has turned out that most of my effort has been directed towards creating a PackageKit backend for this library. Yet now that I am confident that pacman-glib works, I may still go ahead with my initial plan to make a full-fledged Gtk/PolicyKit/DBus frontend to alpm.
