We use mainly pikaur. Feel free to add your favorite helper.
AUR helper with minimal dependencies. Review PKGBUILDs all in once, next build them all without user interaction.
Inspired by pacaur
, yaourt
and yay
.
Instead of trying to be smarter than pacman (by using --nodeps
, --force
, --ask
, --noconfirm
and so) it just interactively tells pacman what to do. If pacman asks some unexpected question, the user will be just able to answer it manually.
pacman -S base-devel git
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/pikaur.git cd pikaur makepkg -fsri
# System upgrade including AUR packages. alias pik='pikaur -Syu' # AUR package installation. alias piki='pikaur -S'
