yay

Yet another Yogurt - An AUR Helper written in Go

Packages

yay yay-bin yay-git GitHub license

There's a point in everyone's life when you feel the need to write an AUR helper because there are only about 20 of them. So say hi to 20+1.

Yay was created with a few objectives in mind and based on the design of yaourt and apacman:

  • Have almost no dependencies.
  • Provide an interface for pacman.
  • Have yaourt like search.
  • Minimize user input
  • Know when git packages are due for an upgrade.

Features

  • AUR Tab completion
  • Download PKGBUILD from ABS or AUR
  • Ask all questions first and then start building
  • Search narrowing (yay linux header will first search linux and then narrow on header)
  • No sourcing of PKGBUILD is done
  • The binary has no dependencies that pacman doesn't already have.
  • Sources build dependencies
  • Removes make dependencies at the end of build process

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yay does not display colored output. How do I fix it?
    Make sure you have the Color option in your /etc/pacman.conf #123

Example of Custom Operations

  • yay <Search Term> presents package selection menu
  • yay -Ps prints system statistics
  • yay -Pu prints update list
  • yay -Yc cleans unneeded dependencies
  • yay -G downloads PKGBUILD from ABS or AUR
  • yay -Y --gendb generates development package DB used for devel updates.
