aurutils is a collection of scripts to automate usage of the Arch User Repository, with different tasks such as package searching, update checks, or computing dependencies kept separate.
The chosen approach for managing packages is local pacman
repositories, rather than foreign (installed by pacman -U)
packages.
Install one of the following packages:
aurutilsfor the release version (recommended).aurutils-gitfor the master branch.
Upgrade notices are posted to the Arch forums. (RSS)
Documentation is included as man pages
with groff typesetting. They provide a general overview of the various utilities
with several examples.
Detailed instructions on how to set up a local repository can be found in the
section CREATING A LOCAL REPOSITORY of the aur(1) man page.
See ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md. For informal discussion, see the
#aurutils channel on Libera Chat.
