 `ahriman.application.application.application.Application` (god class) is used for any interaction from parsers with repository, web etc. It is divided into multiple traits by functions (package related and repository related) in the same package.
 
+`ahriman.application.formatters` package provides `Printer` sub-classes for printing data (e.g. package properties) to stdout which are used by some handlers.
+
 `ahriman.application.ahriman` contains only command line parses and executes specified `Handler` on success, `ahriman.application.lock.Lock` is additional class which provides file-based lock and also performs some common checks.

+* Web interface.
+* No reporting.
+* Local packages and patches support.
+* Some actions are not fully automated (e.g. package update still requires manual intervention for the build itself). 
+* `repoctl` has better AUR interaction features. With colors!
+* `repoctl` has much easier configuration and even completion.
+* `repoctl` is able to store old packages.
+* Ability to host repository from same command vs external services (e.g. nginx) in `ahriman`.
