Yet another Yogurt - An AUR Helper written in Go
|
|
|
|
**Packages**
|
|
[](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/yay/) - Compile from source
|
|
[](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/yay-bin/) - Binary version
|
|
|
|
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. (TODO)
|
|
|
|
## 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
|
|
|
|
#### Custom Operations
|
|
|
|
- `yay <Search Term>` presents package selection menu
|
|
- `yay -Qstats` delivers system statistics
|
|
- `yay -Cd` cleans unneeded dependencies
|
|
- `yay -G` downloads PKGBuild from ABS or AUR
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
