# pikaur
[](https://github.com/actionless/pikaur/actions/workflows/tests.yml) [](https://coveralls.io/github/actionless/pikaur?branch=master) [](https://github.com/actionless/pikaur/graphs/commit-activity) [](https://www.paypal.me/actionless)
AUR helper with minimal dependencies. Review PKGBUILDs all in once, next build them all without user interaction.
Inspired by `pacaur`, `yaourt` and `yay`.
Instead of trying to be smarter than pacman (by using `--nodeps`, `--force`, `--ask`, `--noconfirm` and so) it just interactively tells pacman what to do. If pacman asks some unexpected question, the user will be just able to answer it manually.
Notable features:
* build local PKGBUILDs with AUR deps (`-P`/`--pkgbuild`)
* retrieve PKGBUILDs from AUR and ABS (`-G`/`--getpkgbuild`)
* interactively handle common build problems (like untrusted GPG key or checksum mismatch, wrong architecture)
* using [systemd dynamic users](http://0pointer.net/blog/dynamic-users-with-systemd.html "") if building packages as root user
* show unread [Arch news](https://www.archlinux.org/news/ "") before sysupgrade
* [m]anual package selection in [install prompt](#screenshot "") using text editor (ignore unwanted updates or select package provider)
* show AUR package diff and review PKGBUILD and .install files
* [upgrade](#how-to-upgrade-all-the-dev--git-packages-at-once "") `-git`, `-svn` and other dev packages
* AUR package names in shell completion (bash, fish, zsh)
* quickly search&install package by `pikaur <search-query>`
The following pacman operations are extended with AUR capabilities:
* `-S` (build AUR packages, `--needed`, `--ignore` and `--noconfirm` are supported as in pacman, other args are just bypassed to it)
* `-Sw` (build AUR packages but don't install)
* `-Ss` (search or list all AUR packages, `-q` also supported)
* `-Si` (package info)
* `-Su` / `-Syu` (sysupgrade)
* `-Sc` / `-Scc` (build dir/built packages cache clean)
* `-Qu` (query upgradeable, `-q` supported)
Also see `pikaur -Sh`, `-Qh`, `-Ph` and `-Gh` for pikaur-specific flags.
Pikaur wraps all the pacman options accurately except for `-Syu` which is being split into `-Sy` (to refresh package list first) and `-Su` (to install upgrades after user confirmed the package list or altered it via [M]anual package selection).

Provides an override path for the GPG home directory used when validating aur package sources.
See explanations of `--homedir` and `${GNUPGHOME}` in the gpg man pages for more details.
Will be overridden by `--build_gpgdir` argument.
##### KeepBuildDir (default: no)
Don't remove `~/.cache/pikaur/build/${PACKAGE_NAME}` directory between the builds.
Will be overridden by `-k/--keepbuild` flag.
##### KeepDevBuildDir (default: yes)
When building dev packages (`-git`, `-svn`, etc),
don't remove `~/.cache/pikaur/build/${PACKAGE_NAME}` directory between the builds.
`No` value will be overridden by `KeepBuildDir` option and `-k/--keepbuild` flag.
##### KeepBuildDeps (default: no)
Don't remove build dependencies between and after the builds.
Will be overridden by `--keepbuilddeps` flag.
##### SkipFailedBuild (default: no)
Always skip the build if it fails and don't show recovery prompt.

##### IgnoreArch (default: no)
Ignore specified architectures (`arch`-array) in PKGBUILDs.
#### [review]
##### DontEditByDefault (default: no)
Always default to no when prompting to edit PKGBUILD and install files.

Flags to be passed to `git diff` command when reviewing build files.
Should be separated by commas (`,`).
##### DiffPager (default: auto)
Wherever to use `less` pager when viewing AUR packages diff. Choices are `always`, `auto` or `never`.
##### HideDiffFiles (default: .SRCINFO)
Hide `git diff` for file paths, separated by commas (`,`).
#### [colors]
Terminal colors, from 0 to 15:
##### Version (default: 10)
##### VersionDiffOld (default: 11)
##### VersionDiffNew (default: 9)
#### [ui]
##### RequireEnterConfirm (default: yes)
Require enter key to be pressed when answering questions.
##### PrintCommands (default: no)
Print each command which pikaur is currently spawning.
##### GroupByRepo (default: yes)
Groups official packages by repository when using commands like `pikaur -Ss <query>` or `pikaur <query>`.
##### AurSearchSorting (default: hottest)
Sorting key for AUR packages when using commands like `pikaur -Ss <query>` or `pikaur <query>`. Accepts `hottest`, `numvotes`, `lastmodified`, `popularity`, `pkgname`. Only `pkgname` is sorted ascendingly. The metric for `hottest` is weighted by both `numvotes` and `popularity`.
##### DisplayLastUpdated (default: no)
Display the date a package is last updated on search results when using commands like `pikaur -Ss <query>` or `pikaur <query>`.
##### ReverseSearchSorting (default: no)

##### PrivilegeEscalationTool (default: sudo)
A tool used to escalate user privileges. Currently supported options are `sudo` and `doas`.
##### PrivilegeEscalationTarget (default: pikaur)
Choices: pikaur, pacman.
In case of elevating privilege for pacman - pikaur would ask for password every time pacman runs.
##### UserId (default: 0)
User ID to run makepkg if pikaur started from root.
0 - means disabled, not that it will use uid=0.
Setting this option would override DynamicUsers settings and force changing to this UID instead of a dynamic one.
#### [network]
##### AurUrl (default: https://aur.archlinux.org)
AUR Host.
##### NewsUrl (default: https://www.archlinux.org/feeds/news/)
Arch Linux News URL, useful for users of Parabola or other Arch derivatives.
##### Socks5Proxy (default: )
Specify a socks5 proxy which is used to get AUR package information.
The format is `[host[:port]]`, and the default port is 1080.
PySocks module (`python-pysocks` package) should be installed in order to use this option.
Note that any downloads by `pacman`, `git` or `makepkg` will NOT use this proxy.
If that's needed, setting proxy options in their own config files will take effect
(such as `~/.gitconfig`, `~/.curlrc`).
##### AurHttpProxy (default: )
Specify a HTTP proxy which is used to get AUR package information and to `git`-clone from AUR.
Note that any downloads by `pacman`, `git` (inside the build) or `makepkg` will NOT use this proxy.
If that's needed, setting proxy options in their own config files will take effect
(such as `env HTTP_PROXY=`, `~/.gitconfig`, `~/.curlrc`).
##### AurHttpsProxy (default: )
Specify a HTTPS proxy which is used to get AUR package information and to `git`-clone from AUR.
Note that any downloads by `pacman`, `git` (inside the build) or `makepkg` will NOT use this proxy.
If that's needed, setting proxy options in their own config files will take effect
(such as `env HTTPS_PROXY=`, `~/.gitconfig`, `~/.curlrc`).
## FAQ
##### How to upgrade all the dev (-git) packages at once?
`pikaur -Sua --devel --needed`
(`--needed` option will make sure what the same package version won't be rebuilt again and `-a/--aur` will ensure what only AUR packages will be upgraded)
##### How to manually remove unneeded dependencies?
Pikaur is not needed for that, use just Pacman itself:
`sudo pacman -Rs $(pacman -Qtdq)` (however `pikaur -Rs ...` would work as well if you lazy to type `sudo` :) )
##### How to override default source directory, build directory or built package destination?
Set `SRCDEST`, `BUILDDIR` or `PKGDEST` accordingly in `makepkg.conf`.
For more info see `makepkg` documentation.
##### How to clean old or uninstalled AUR packages in ~/.cache/pikaur/pkg?
Use `paccache(8)` with the `--cachedir` option.
To clean them up automatically, you may:
- use a pacman hook. Start with the provided
Copy `/usr/share/pikaur/examples/pikaur-cache.hook` to
`/usr/share/libalpm/hooks/pikaur-cache-cleanup.hook`,
remember to update the cache's path.
- use a systemd service & timer (provided `pikaur-cache.service` and
`pikaur-cache.timer`). Configure it with `systemctl --user edit
--full pikaur-cache.service` and activate it with `systemctl --user
enable --now pikaur-cache.timer`.
##### How to restore original PKGBUILD after editing?
Go to the package's directory, `cd ~/.local/share/pikaur/aur_repos/${PACKAGE_NAME}`.
Review the current PKGBUILD file changes with `git diff` and then reset with `git checkout -- '*'`.
##### How to see upgrade list without syncing the database? (like "checkupdates" tool from pacman)
Actually use `checkupdates` tool to check the repo updates and use pikaur only for AUR (`-a`/`--aur` switch):
```
checkupdates ; pikaur -Qua 2>/dev/null
```
##### Pikaur slow when running it as root user (or via sudo)
If you find the command takes a long time to initialize, make sure to periodically clear your cache: `pikaur -Scc`. Root pikaur is using SystemD Dynamic Users to isolate build process from the root, and it takes some time to change the owner of build cache to dynamic temporary user.
##### How to migrate from Yay?
This will migrate the cache of what AUR packages have been installed, so you can still see a Git diff for the next update of each package:
```sh
mv ~/.cache/yay/* ~/.local/share/pikaur/aur_repos/
find ~/.local/share/pikaur/aur_repos -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d | xargs -r -I '{}' -- sh -c 'cd "{}" && git rev-parse HEAD > last_installed.txt'
```
##### How to downgrade a package?
This will show a list of commits to choose one to downgrade to.
```sh
pikaur -G <package> # retrieve package sources
cd <package>
git log # choose <commit> from the list
git checkout <commit>
pikaur -Pi # build and install older version
```
##### How to add additional trusted keys when building with systemd dynamic users?
When using systemd dynamic users, by default, there is not a persistent user or gpg home directory. You can set the path to a persistent gpg home directory using the cli argument `--build_gpgdir`. Alternatively, you can set a permanent default with the configuration option `[build] gpgdir` in the root pikaur configuration file `/root/.config/pikaur.conf` The below example configures makepkg to use a hypothetical gpg home directory at `/etc/pikaur.d/gnupg` when validating source files.
```ini
[build]
gpgdir=/etc/pikaur.d/gnupg
```
You can initialize a minimal gnupghome at the example path by executing the below commands as root.
```sh
export GNUPGHOME="/etc/pikaur.d/gnupg"
mkdir -p "${GNUPGHOME}"
gpg --batch --passphrase '' --quick-gen-key "pikaur@localhost" rsa sign 0
```

### Translations
To start working on a new language, say `hi_IN` (Indian Hindi), add it to the
`Makefile` `LANGS` variable and run `make`. Then translate `locale/hi_IN.po` using
your favorite PO editor. Run `make` every time the Python code strings change
or the `.po` is modified.

(like \"checkupdates\" tool from pacman)\n\nActually use `checkupdates` tool to check the repo updates and use pikaur only for AUR (`-a`/`--aur` switch):\n\n```\ncheckupdates ; pikaur -Qua 2>/dev/null\n```\n\n##### Pikaur slow when running it as root user (or via sudo)\n\nIf you find the command takes a long time to initialize, make sure to periodically clear your cache: `pikaur -Scc`. Root pikaur is using SystemD Dynamic Users to isolate build process from the root, and it takes some time to change the owner of build cache to dynamic temporary user.\n\n##### How to migrate from Yay?\n\nThis will migrate the cache of what AUR packages have been installed, so you can still see a Git diff for the next update of each package:\n\n```sh\nmv ~/.cache/yay/* ~/.local/share/pikaur/aur_repos/\nfind ~/.local/share/pikaur/aur_repos -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d | xargs -r -I '{}' -- sh -c 'cd \"{}\" && git rev-parse HEAD > last_installed.txt'\n```\n\n##### How to downgrade a package?\n\nThis will show a list of commits to choose one to downgrade to.\n\n```sh\npikaur -G <package> # retrieve package sources\ncd <package>\ngit log # choose <commit> from the list\ngit checkout <commit>\npikaur -Pi # build and install older version\n```\n\n##### How to add additional trusted keys when building with systemd dynamic users?\nWhen using systemd dynamic users, by default, there is not a persistent user or gpg home directory. You can set the path to a persistent gpg home directory using the cli argument `--build_gpgdir`. Alternatively, you can set a permanent default with the configuration option `[build] gpgdir` in the root pikaur configuration file `/root/.config/pikaur.conf` The below example configures makepkg to use a hypothetical gpg home directory at `/etc/pikaur.d/gnupg` when validating source files.\n\n```ini\n[build]\ngpgdir=/etc/pikaur.d/gnupg\n```\n\nYou can initialize a minimal gnupghome at the example path by executing the below commands as root.\n\n```sh\nexport GNUPGHOME=\"/etc/pikaur.d/gnupg\"\nmkdir -p \"${GNUPGHOME}\"\ngpg --batch --passphrase '' --quick-gen-key \"pikaur@localhost\" rsa sign 0\n```\n\n## Contributing\n\n\n### Code\n\nYou can start from [this list of issues](https://github.com/actionless/pikaur/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22 \"\"). Grep-ing `@TODO` comments also useful if you're itching to write something.\n\n#### Running CI locally\n\n##### Linters (code quality check)\n\n```sh\n./maintenance_scripts/lint.sh\n```\n\n##### Tests\n\n```sh\n./maintenance_scripts/docker_test.sh\n```\n\nSee also `./maintenance_scripts/docker_test.sh --help` for more options.\n\n\n### Translations\n\nTo start working on a new language, say `hi_IN` (Indian Hindi), add it to the\n`Makefile` `LANGS` variable and run `make`. Then translate `locale/hi_IN.po` using\nyour favorite PO editor. Run `make` every time the Python code strings change\nor the `.po` is modified.\n\n\n\n## Authors\n\nTo see the list of authors, use this command inside pikaur git repository directory:\n\n```sh\ngit log --pretty=tformat:\"%an <%ae>\" | sort -u\n```\n\n### Special thanks\n\n@AladW ([aurutils](https://github.com/AladW/aurutils)), @morganamilo ([yay](https://github.com/Jguer/yay)) during the early stages of Pikaur development.\nAnd [all the other issue contributors](https://github.com/actionless/pikaur/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+-author%3Aactionless) for helping in triaging the bugs and clearing up feature requirements.\n",
