Yet another Yogurt - An AUR Helper written in Go
|
|
|
|
#### Packages
|
|
[](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/yay/) [](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/yay-bin/) [](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/yay-git/) [](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Jguer/yay/master/LICENSE)
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
#### 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 -Yg` `yay -g` downloads PKGBUILD from ABS or AUR
|
|
- `yay -Y --gendb` generates development package DB used for devel updates.
