![]() -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. |

Yet another Yogurt - An AUR Helper written in Go
Packages
There's a point in everyone's life when you feel the need to write an AUR helper because there are only about 20 of them. So say hi to 20+1.
Yay was created with a few objectives in mind and based on the design of yaourt and apacman:
- Have almost no dependencies.
- Provide an interface for pacman.
- Have yaourt like search.
- Minimize user input
- Know when git packages are due for an upgrade.
Features
- AUR Tab completion
- Download PKGBUILD from ABS or AUR
- Ask all questions first and then start building
- Search narrowing (
yay linux header
will first search linux and then narrow on header) - No sourcing of PKGBUILD is done
- The binary has no dependencies that pacman doesn't already have.
- Sources build dependencies
- Removes make dependencies at the end of build process
Frequently Asked Questions
- Yay does not display colored output. How do I fix it?
Make sure you have theColor
option in your/etc/pacman.conf
#123
