Make sure you have the `Color` option in your `/etc/pacman.conf`
|

(see issue [#123](https://github.com/Jguer/yay/issues/123)).

The default behavior was changed after
|
||||
[v8.918](https://github.com/Jguer/yay/releases/tag/v8.918)
|
||||
(see [3bdb534](https://github.com/Jguer/yay/commit/3bdb5343218d99d40f8a449b887348611f6bdbfc)
|
||||
and issue [#554](https://github.com/Jguer/yay/issues/554)).
|
||||
To restore the package-skip behavior use `--combinedupgrade` (make
|
||||
it permanent by appending `--save`). Note: skipping packages will leave your
|
||||
system in a
|
||||
[partially-upgraded state](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/System_maintenance#Partial_upgrades_are_unsupported).

- Sometimes diffs are printed to the terminal, and other times they are paged via less. How do I fix this?

- **Sometimes diffs are printed to the terminal, and other times they are paged via less. How do I fix this?**
|
||||
|
||||
Yay uses `git diff` to display diffs, which by default tells less not to
|
||||
page if the output can fit into one terminal length. This behavior can be
|
||||
overridden by exporting your own flags (`export LESS=SRX`).

Yay resolves all dependencies ahead of time. You are free to edit the
|
||||
PKGBUILD in any way, but any problems you cause are your own and should not be
|
||||
reported unless they can be reproduced with the original PKGBUILD.

Yay uses an hash cache for development packages. Normally it is updated at the end of the package install with the message `Found git repo`.
|
||||
If you transition between aur helpers and did not install the devel package using yay at some point, it is possible it never got added to the cache. `yay -Y --gendb` will fix the current version of every devel package and start checking from there.
