yaourt

Where has gone yaourt?

[pepedog]

Don't blame me

Code: Select all

wget https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ya/yaourt/yaourt.tar.gz
tar xf yaourt.tar.gz
cd yaourt
makepkg -Acs
su
pacman -U yaourt-*

Technically, yaourt is an "any" package, so -A not needed, even if built for x86 would work as it's just scripts

I don't use it, I do above method

Why pacman -S yaourt don't give anything now ?

Pacman is a package manager, not a utility for downloading scripts. I do recall that yaourt used to be in the repository, not sure why they stopped keeping it there. Except as Pepedog says, yaourt really is not a binary package but a collection of scripts.

EDIT: to be more clear: pacman only works with packages that are in the arch linux arm repository for us, if something is not there, then pacman will not show it. And yaourt is not in the repository any more.

From what I see is yaourt generated more problems than solutions, making people lazy and not even look for answers.
I never used it and have no opinion on the good and the bad of it, the little steps to build and install it yourself shouldn't be a problem.
And packer might be better https://github.com/keenerd/packer/wiki ?

Yaourt was good but was also very BAD on cross-compiling.
It used /tmp as storage space, so for persons using /tmp as tmpfs, it was a memory hog.

Hi everyone,
Very nice I freshly tested and learn "Packer"

Otherwise I found a way out to install properly yaourt on rpi, it's just isn't compile for arm => rpi2(armv7h) or rpi3 (armv7l) :

Works perfectly.

I'll read and compare all the alternatives, especially Packer.

Thanks anyway.
