We use mainly pikaur. Feel free to add your favorite helper.
Pikaur
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.
Packages
pacman -S base-devel git
Installation
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/pikaur.git cd pikaur makepkg -fsri
