Revision as of 20:57, 22 August 2018

Comment: This is draft for AUR helpers started from Talk:AUR helpers#Native pacman revisited. Use Template:Comment for suggestions on the draft page.
Maybe a smaller or no fixed width? The GUI table (AUR helpers#Graphical) is not 100% either. -- Alad (talk) 19:58, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
100% agreed ;) Unfixed width for all tables and it looks better on any resolution IMO. -- Svito (talk) 20:56, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Search and download only

Comment: From User:halosghost: Search/Download-only could be a good section title, because some of these tools support package downloads as well. -- Alad (talk) 21:56, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Pacman wrappers

When used as replacement for pacman(8) commands such as pacman -Syu, the following are obeyed by default: [6]

  • avoid partial upgrades, for example pacman -Syu is not split to pacman -Sy and pacman -S packages
  • avoid manual database manipulation or usage of libalpm(3) – use pacman directly instead
Warning:
  • Notwithstanding these criteria, AUR helpers may deviate from pacman(8) in various ways, in particular for installation of packages in the official repositories. Such usage is therefore not supported or recommended.
  • Keep in mind that using the same command for official and user-submitted packages blurs the lines between packages that are supported, and packages that might be arbitrary broken things; latter requiring careful attention before installation.

Comment: "Closed development" is more accurate than "Not for public use" in aurman's Notes. Anyone can use aurman by installing the AUR package, they just can't participate in development. -- Alad (talk) 22:11, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
Note that bauerbill fits the criteria of "closed development" too. I'd also suggest keeping pacaur in a separate table, or removing it entirely - unlike the others, it's officially deprecated -- Spyhawk (talk) 19:02, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

.

Comment: I think using a separate section for pacman wrappers deals with the problematic perfectly. However, I'm unsure if issues should be included in the Specificity column (as done for yaourt below; splits -Syu is missing for some entries). The column is to the far right of the table and may be overlooked. That said, a second column might be overkill. I wonder what incorporating remarks on pacman wrapping in the Name column would look like. Alad (talk) 19:53, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
Changed Specifity to Notes, added split pacman -Syu and colored helper column accordingly. Thanks for all feedback! -- Svito (talk) 21:06, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
I think the colored table headers are confusing because it's not obvious what the colors mean. I'd prefer a dedicated column. --Larivact (talk) 04:22, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
The warning on pacman wrappers could probably be included here, instead of the criteria. -- Alad (talk) 19:54, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
