Recommended AUR Helper

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/archlinux

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • dotfiles

    config files for zsh, vim, tmux, paru, etc., managed by chezmoi. (by CyrusYip)

  • more human readable config (this is mine). yay uses JSON.

  • aurch

    Sets up aurutils inside a chroot for building Arch Linux AUR packages.

  • I ended up writing my own AUR helper that sets up aurutils inside an nspawn container. It does prompt for inspecting and/or modifying git cloned files before building. However, it omits other typical AUR helper features like building/updating multiple packages at once. On the other hand, it transparently manages required gpg keys and AUR dependencies. https://github.com/Cody-Learner/aurch

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • auracle having problems with some commands is caused by an issue in curl 8.1.0: https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/11138. Downgrade to curl 8.0.1 and auracle works fine. Fix should be in curl 8.1.1 next week.
