  feat(aur): list and upgrade AUR packages through paru or yay on Arch

  bryanpedini released this 2026-10-10 15:06:18 +02:00 | 1 commits to main since this release

  On the pacman backend, an installed AUR helper (paru, else yay;
  --aur-helper=paru|yay|none, --no-aur) adds the AUR updates to the review
  list. The helper never runs as root: when the tool is root through sudo it
  runs as SUDO_USER (runuser -u, else sudo -u, with that user's HOME, from
  that home); unprivileged it runs as is; a root login gets no AUR, with a
  warning. The banner names the helper ("+ AUR via paru").

  • listing: -Qua (also with --no-refresh), rows with repository
    "aur"; [ignored] is shown [held]; a failing -Qua warns and the session
    goes on with the repository rows
  • every row has a marker column after the number: "*" for AUR rows, a
    space otherwise (on every backend)
  • N?? merges pacman -Qi with -Sia; N?, N+, Nx stay with pacman;
    N- excludes through the helper's --ignore
  • : the repository step exactly as before, then -Sua
    --ignore as the invoking user (--noconfirm only when stdin is
    not a terminal); pacman is skipped when only AUR rows are left; a helper
    failure is reported and its status returned; --dry-run prints it
  • other backends never run a helper; --aur-helper is ignored with a warning

  paru 2.1.0 and yay 13.0.1 formats verified in discovery/pacman.md section
  15 (proof: discovery/pacman/aur.sh). Unit tests replay the recorded output
  (fake paru, yay, runuser, getent); the archlinux E2E run installs the
  foreign su-dummy-aur and drives a fake paru through a fake sudo built on
  passwordless su for wheel.
