#Archlinux fun-of-the-day: My updater needs external updates to update my updaters build chain 🤡

#rust #paru #AUR

@frankie the #AUR is the whole reason I use #arch. (That, and first party support through the arch wiki. I'm sure I could get by using the arch wiki for other distros but it's one less internet search I have to do per problem I have.) Check out #yay and #paru. I kind of wish alternate repositories were supported by #pacman, but since yay and paru can update arch repository packages, I don't see a difference in my day to day.

paru AUR Helper – Ce este și cum se folosește

Paru este un ajutor AUR dezvoltat de Morganamilo, care a fost și unul dintre dezvoltatorii principali al yay, care este cel mai popular ajutor AUR. În mare diferențele dintre paru și yay este că, primul este scris în limbajul Rust, iar cel de al doilea este scris în limbajul Go. La fel ca și cu yay, și cu paru puteți profita la maxim de depozitul AUR și puteți compila și instala cu ușurință orice program. Are căteva caracteristici și functii noi, în ciuda faptului că a […]

paru AUR Helper – Ce este și cum se folosește – Comunitatea Linux România

@erici @archlinux I would say you can't install or update packages from #aur without inspecting the pkgbuild.

Aur helpers like #paru make it easy. They even show you what has changed in the build script while upgrading.

#ArchLinux #EndeavourOSLinux #GarudaLinux #EndeavourOS #Linux #Paru #Pacman #yay

Someone recommended I try yay for package management on an #Arch system, vs paru. It is my understanding that these applications are abstractions of pacman, which i presume is an abstraction of something... but i'm new to Arch Linux, and I'm not sure that matters at this point in the timeline (approaching the #Singularity). In any case...

I said, Yay?
Yayo! N'yuk, n'yuk. And I didn't really say that. But I did spend some time playing with images I found upon 🤷 googling the word, #yayo 🤷

Anyone wanting to migrate from Debian based distro to Arch and want's an easy way to list available updates, I do this;

paru -Sy && paru -Qu

If you are wanting to make it easier to type out, maybe consider an alias;

alias salu='paru -Sy && paru -Qu'

Put the above in your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_aliases and whenever you are at a terminal after setting it, just do `salu` and get the available updates. I chose `salu` purely as an abbreviation for `sudo apt list --upgradable`, use whatever you prefer of course.

That was one of the things that I found I wanted to use frequently in Debian, so needed to know how in Arch, and made it easier on my muscle memory lol.

#Archlinux #Debian #upgrades #bashaliases #paru

I hope y'all having a great weekend...

If #Yay or #Paru stop working due to latest #pacman (libalpm.so) update please wait for an update before using it, or switch to -git version if you can't. #FOSS #Linux #OpenSource #AUR

Arch Linux - News: Manual intervention for pacman 7.0.0 and local repositories required

After using prawn and paru/pandoc gems in a few book/doc building projects. I've decided the way to go in future is paru/pandoc.

The tell was changing fonts within a table. I wanted No Man's Sky glyphs (Hexadecimal, 0 => F) in a doc.

It also means I can either generate or manually maintain markdown fragments. Then pull them all together in the final doc build step.

Using markdown also means I can embed Latex as needed. This is how I did the font changes within tables.

#ruby #paru #pandoc

Just updated #paru to use #run0 instead of sudo on #ArchLinux. Easy peasy. 👍

@[email protected] Just tried it, seems to work for me. Make sure `polkit` is installed, edit `/etc/paru.conf` and set `Sudo = /usr/bin/run0`.
