Description

A set of utilities to handle archlinux packages databases and aur installation.

Features

~~~

Requirements

Install

$ gem install aur.rb

Notes

There are three ways to install packages. The first is to simply use makepkg -si. Here aur dependency packages built need to be installed because pacman won't find them. So it may be cause for conflict.

The other way is to build dependency packages and add them to a database. This allows further call to makepkg -s to find them if they are needed to build a particular package. It may still cause conflict because they are installed against the full system.

The last way is to build in a chroot. Here a database is needed too so the chroot can access to the previously built dependency packages.

Adding a database require modifying pacman.conf, but aur.rb will generate a temporary pacman.conf with the current database location and use that when needed.

With this feature it is easy to simulate checkupdates too.
