These flags limit operations to only check the repos or only check the
AUR. These flags apply to -S, -Si and -Su.
-a may also be used as a short option for --aur. --repo has no short
option as -r is taken.
-Sc will delete cached AUR data from Yay's build dir according to
the `CleanMethod` specified in the Pacman config file.
-Scc will delete all cached AUR data.
Additionally -Sc will also delete all untracked files in the AUR cache.
This will delete things such as downloaded sources and built packages
but will leave directories behind.
This is very usefull because the only reason a directoiry should exist
in the cache is because of downloaded VCS sources. Non VCS sources are
redownloaded every update because when a new version is released a new
tarball has to be downloaded. But VCS sources are never redownloaded,
updates are simply pulled. For this reason the user probably wants to
keep this data as it is still usefull even after building and installing
a package.
Use git clone over tarballs for pkgbuild downloading during -S. This
option can still be toggled using the config flags.
The config option for selecting clone or tarball will be overiden if an
existing package is cached. The method used to download the package
perviously will be used regardless of the config.
Previously we ran pkgver() right after dowloading sources. This is
a problem because prepare() should be called and all dependencies
should be installed before pkgver().
Instead bump the pkgver while building then get the new pkgver used for
install. Previously we parsed `makepkg --printsrcinfo` to get the new
version. Insead use `makepkg --packagelist` as it is much faster.
Allows searching the RPC for words that may be too short or have
too many results as long as another word in the search will work.
If no words can be used without error then the last error will be
returned and the program will exit.
add22f5957 added error checks to all the
passToPacman commands. This makes `yay -Q nonexistantpackage` return
non 0 as it should. Annoyingly it also made yay print `exit status = n`
which is the error string from passToPacman calls. This error doesn't
add much and is quite annoying, expecially when calling pacman commands
like `-Q` or `-Si` where yay should be kind of 'hidden' and print just
like pacman does.
Now set the error string to "" for pacman commands and don't print an
error if it == "" (avoids empty line printed).
Also behave more like pacman when using `yay -Qu`.
-Qu now has AUR support, it functions identically to `-Pu` and may replace
it in the futre.
Aditionally the pacman options `-n` and `-m` are also supported to
filter out native and non native packages. Other flags are not supported
currently.
Using any other `-Q` will fallback to Pacman.
The callback is set to allways silently say yes, When passing to pacman
for the intall pacman will then ask the question giving the user
a chance to answer.
Similar to the --redownload flag, when specifed targets will be rebuilt
even if an up to date version is cached. --rebuildall can be used to
ensure uninstalled dependencies are rebuilt as well.
Additionally, unlike --redownload there is also --rebuildtree. This
causes a rebuild and reinstall of a package and all of it's dependencies
recursivley. This is designed for when a libary updae, breaks an
installed AUR package due to a partial upgrade. polybar is a common
example
--rebuild allows you to easily skip the cache and rebuild against a newer
libary version. --rebuildtree is a more nuclear option where you can
rebuild the whole dependency tree.
Adds the ability to pick which database to install a package from. This
is extended to also support for AUR packages. For example `extra/git`
and `aur/yay` should both work`. When not explicitly requesting
a database repo packages will be choosen over the AUR.
This features extends to yogurt mode, listings where a package shows up
in multiple database/the AUR is now handled.
The aur does not have a real pacman databse like core, extra ect. But
can be accessed as if was one with `aur/name`. Using Yay with a pacman
repository named "aur" is undefined.
With this The user should never have to manually edit the yay config
file. All options can be set directly through yay using
`yay --<option> <value> --save`
Before setting options such as --topdown would be saved to the config
file automaticly when used. Now this is no longer done by default and
isntead the --save flag must be passed for this to happen.
If --save is passed the config is now saved as soon as the argument
parsing is finished apposed to before where it was saved when yay exits.
This means that config changes will now apply if the user does a ^C
before yay finishes.
