Question:
What AUR helper do you use?
Option 1: pacaur
Option 2: paru
Option 3: pikaur
Option 4: trizen
Option 5: yay
Option 6: yaourtix
You are also free to point out your pros/cons for any of the above mentioned AUR helper.
I use Trizen because the default for editing annex files is N, this makes it the fastest, also it has a very customizable config.
Paru is probably the easiest to use and i'll recommend this for beginners.
Yay is not longer developed IIRC? It's been back in business for a good while, nice!
Yaourtix i think it's still maintained, can you edit the poll?
Pikaur is python script, pacaur is shell script, never heard of the former, seem interesting.
:)
yay for no better reason than it was the next one I tried after yaourt was declared dead and it worked ok for my needs.
pikaur is not bad, works well for me and is fairly often updated.
Trizen works well and is available in galaxy. 8)
I don't use any packages at all from the AUR.
Done! And thanks for the info on helpers. Guess I'll try paru first.
Yaourtix, till a’ the seas gang dry and the rocks melt wi’ the sun.
I switched from yay to paru recently, because yay kept synchronizing repos more than twice for me. Paru is not free of issues but better.
well, that convinced me, I'm switching.
None at all. I only need curl and mkchrootpkg.
