pikaur – AUR helper with minimal dependencies

pikaur is an AUR helper with minimal dependencies. Review PKGBUILDs all in once, next build them all without user interaction.

The utility seeks inspiration from pacaur, yaourt and yay.

Instead of trying to be smarter than pacman it just interactively tells pacman what to do. If pacman asks some unexpected question, the user will be just able to answer it manually.

This is free and open source software.

Features include:

• Build local PKGBUILDs with AUR deps.
• Retrieve PKGBUILDs from AUR and ABS.
• Interactively handle common build problems (like untrusted GPG key or checksum mismatch, wrong architecture).
• Show unread Arch news before sysupgrade.
• [M]anual package selection in install prompt using text editor (ignore unwanted updates or select package provider).
• Show AUR package diff and review PKGBUILD and .install files.
• Upgrade -git, -svn and other dev packages.
• AUR package names in shell completion (bash, fish, zsh).
• Quickly search&install package by pikaur .
