- How do you guys manage AUR compilation?

Using pikaur, how would I disable asking me "Do you want to edit PKGBUILD for <package_name> package? [Y/n]"
Have a look here. Did you not search for the answer? That's part of the Arch(based) ethos. We tend to like to learn by reading whatever is required. :)

Nala v0.10.0 - Nala's A Legible Apt
I was also looking for something nicer for Arch, but haven't found anything as nice as Nala. For now, I switched to pikaur, which at least displays updates in a much clearer way.

AUR helper
pikaur is a pretty great tool.
-
I created a tool to install AUR packages in 1 click from the website: Aurin
Nice, but this definately needs a dependency resolver, otherwise it can only install a fraction of the available AUR packages. Since you're already using python, you may adapt your whole code on top a another python-based AUR helper like pikaur. You maybe also could take at the dep resolver of my ABS project. It's python, too, maybe not as clean as pikaur's code but simpler and not too integrated.
- Yay or Paru!!??

- 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?
