How do you guys manage AUR compilation?
Currently I use aurutils, so that created packages are stored in an extra repository on the respective machine and can be installed through it.

How/why do you use the AUR?
I currently use aurutils.

[Request/Suggestion] Have 1 linux app with autoupdate instead of muliple packages
If I am not mistaken officially maintained packages follow the same initial process as AUR packages. You can read the wiki on Creating packages. But official packages are tested (there is a testing repository with the newest packages) where as the AUR package expects users to do the build and testing themselves, at their own risk in other words. With the helpers like glorious aurutils the process of keeping up-to-date dozens of packages (if you happen to be in a such a use case) with many dependencies is quite easy.

all dependencies in one package
You could use https://github.com/AladW/aurutils to create your own pacman repository on this USB drive. On your powerful PC you build the packages and they are placed in the repository on the USB drive. Then on your other machine you add the repository and install any AUR packages that you added to the repository from there. Dependency resolution would be handled by pacman itself just like for the normal repositories.

AUR Helper Suggestions
aurutils
-
yay -> takes ages -> password -> abort because I am not around -> goto 0
Check out aurutils, it is a collection of scripts that helps to streamline the process of maintaining a custom-repo for you aur packages. It takes a little to set everything up in the beginning (but it is less work then OPs method). After the initial setup everything just works.

YAY or PARU ?
I have yay installed but I've also setup aurutils on my server that automatically builds a list of packages to a pacman repo every day so I can just update them with my other pacman packages. Saves time compiling them during updates and lets me upgrade the same packages on my desktop and laptop without having to needlessly build them twice.

- Release Paru v2.0.0 (AUR helper)
-
what do you wish you knew while starting to use arch?
I would also get a AUR helper, I'd recommend paru (don't forget to configure /etc/paru.conf). Just make sure you're checking the validity of AUR packages.
-
Paru not upgrading *-git packages
as the uncommented lines. This has been the default since at least April 2022.
-
Is anyone editing PKGBUILD files locally with paru (local changes without "customizepkg")?
I've just discovered that paru supports adding your own changes to PKGBUILD files if they are committed to the cached git repos and merging them with any upstream upgrades:
-
Discovery gives "The PackageKit daemon has crashed" error suddenly (Arch)
If you use AUR packages, you might want to use an AUR helper that wraps pacman, like paru or yay.
-
Concerns Over Arch Stability
paru is an AUR Helper, which also will perform pacman actions (install, upgrade, removal, etc)
-
It’s JavaScript all the way down
maybe check out paru - it throws up the PKGBUILD whenever you’re installing a package (or upgrading one when it’s changed)
-
Is there any software helps build AUR packages and update them?
paru: https://github.com/Morganamilo/paru

Need help installing webcam drivers ipu6
Thanks. Installing intel-ipu6-dkms-git from AUR using paru is giving error, says
- Is there a way to apply a patch to an AUR package on the fly, without editing the PKGBUILD?
