|
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](https://github.com/archlinuxfr/yaourt) and [apacman](https://github.com/oshazard/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 the `Color` option in your `/etc/pacman.conf` [#123](https://github.com/Jguer/yay/issues/123)
|
|
|
|
#### Example of Custom Operations
|
|
|
|
* `yay <Search Term>` presents package selection menu
|
|
* `yay -Ps` prints system statistics
|
|
* `yay -Pu` prints update list
|
|
* `yay -Yc` cleans unneeded dependencies
|
|
* `yay -G` downloads PKGBUILD from ABS or AUR
|
|
* `yay -Y --gendb` generates development package DB used for devel updates.
|
|
* `yay -Syu --devel --timeupdate` Normal update but also check for development
|
|
package updates and uses PKGBUILD modification time and not version to
|
|
determine update
