@Virgilio-AI Hello man. Thank you for the issue and comment. I have no idea about AUR packages, it seems this type of packaging is for Arch Linux and I have never used it.

This software is written in Javascript and uses Node. Maybe the way to do it is to include Node and NPM as dependencies (these are widely installed by many users, similar to the way Python also comes in most distros) and somehow insert the script that installs this dependency (cpdiff) globally. But I have no idea.

If you want, you can fork it and I will merge it if the packaging succeeds.

yes, I will be doing it when I have some free time :)
