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:
2017-04-10 03:07:59 +02:00
- Have almost no dependencies.
- Provide an interface for pacman.
2016-12-10 01:12:09 +01:00
- Have yaourt like search.
2017-04-17 15:03:47 +02:00
- Minimize user input
- Know when git packages are due for an upgrade. (TODO)

2017-04-17 15:03:47 +02:00
## Features
- AUR Tab completion
- Search narrowing (`yay linux header` will first search linux and then narrow on header)
- No sourcing of PKGBuilds 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
