minus-squaresilly goose meekah@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·2 days agoI’m pretty sure this is a joke about yay (“Yet Another Yogurt - An AUR Helper Written in Go”), when you have it installed you can just type yay into the terminal and update your system including all AUR packages.
minus-squaremrcleanup@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 day agoThat makes total sense. I haven’t dipped my toes into AUR, so I’m not surprised I missed it.

The chaotic aur is a bunch of pre compiled versions of apps from the AUR. It doesn’t have all the AUR packages but it has a bunch. You can check by looking for [chaotic- aur] in your /etc/pacman.conf file. grep "\[chaotic-aur]" /etc/pacman.conf If enabled pacman will handle those packages without the need for an aur helper like yay.
