Repology, the packaging hub
Repology monitors a huge number of package repositories and other sources comparing packages versions across them and gathering other information. Repology shows you in which repositories a given project is packaged, which version is the latest and which needs updating, who maintains the package, and other related information. Repology might be useful

Today, we are going to learn how to convert DEB packages into Arch Linux packages. You might ask, AUR is the large software repository on the planet, and almost all software are available in it. Why would I need to convert a DEB package into Arch Linux package? True! However, some packages cannot be compiled (closed source packages) or cannot be built from AUR for various reasons like error during compiling or unavailable files. Or, the developer is too lazy to build a package in AUR or s/he doesn’t like to create an AUR package. In such cases, we can use this quick and dirty method to convert DEB packages into Arch Linux packages.
