resolving dependencies in aur

awayand · 2012-03-19 16:27:36

I am trying to build a package with a boatload of perl-modules as dependencies for which most already a package exists in AUR. How do I check quickly from my dependencies which package does not exist in AUR, yet? I cannot use yaourt, because I haven't built a package, yet. And I also cannot use makepkg -s, because it won't resolve aur packages. Any ideas?

Use another AUR helper / AUR searcher.

You can use unofficial user repos to install some helper e.g. [march] has packer.

thanks, but I think my quesiton was not clear. I have a PKGBUILD file that is not complete, yet, and I want to go through it and check if all the packages I have defined in depends() are already in AUR or not. Is there an AUR helper or other tool out there that allows me to do this?

I don't think any helper does this, you'll have to do it manually. Or maybe make a script.

Workaround - build the package (with blank package() and build() if necessary), upload it, and try to install using yaourt.
