yaourt takes a lot of time updating system

kriz · 2010-02-18 16:18:31

after typing yaourt -Syu it updates the repos, then i have to wait like 10-15 minutes until yaourt lists me the packages suitable for updating, after i confirm i have to wait also very long until the packages will be downloaded and installed.

does anyone have a similar problem or a solution?

Use one of the other AUR helpers. Yaourt doesn't seem to be maintained anymore and all of the alternatives are faster.

Rydgel · 2010-02-18 16:57:40

Take a look at packer

Skripka · 2010-02-18 16:58:41

It is a "feature".

I'm having the same problem. It seems that yaourt starts downloading packages without asking authorization (when using yaourt -Su / ) . That why it seems to be blocked.

loafer · 2010-04-09 19:03:48

Look around the forums and the Wiki. Bauerbill, packer, slurpy, aurget ... a simple search will provide a load of alternatives.

quarkup · 2010-04-09 20:59:12

Use clyde. its objective is to be a pacman replacement, with features that yaourt has, plus is much more faster (clyde -Ss should give the complete AUR list in few miliseconds)

It is being developped by our fellow archlinux mates.. please check it at least.
The package is "clyde-git" (in AUR)
