Yaourt: sorting by number of votes

thiagowfx · 2013-08-02 04:55:49

Is there any way of sorting the packages of a yaourt search by their number of votes / rating? Can any parameters / flags of yaourt or configs in .yaourtrc do that?

Actually, my question is a duplicate of this one: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=118141, but I didn't want to post in this old thread. I couldn't find anything in the forums, neither in the man page or the wiki.

Note that I can go to the AUR website, search a package there, and them order by the votes by clicking in the votes column. But I want to do this directly from yaourt, in the command line.

I prefer cower:

$ cower --format "%n %o" -s firefox | grep firefox | grep -v extension | sort -nk 2 | column -t

Thank you, karol! That is exactly what I want.

I won't mark the topic as [solved], though, because I want a yaourt version of this. Maybe somebody can still answer that.

can't answer your specific question, but don't forget you can build on karol's answer too - for example, to sort the output in reverse order you can add a 'r' to the sort command

$ cower --format "%n %o" -s firefox | grep firefox | grep -v extension | sort -nrk 2 | column -t | head -n 5
firefox-nightly                     716
firefox-beta-bin                    518
firefox-kde-opensuse                331
firefox-moonlight                   158
firefox-aurora                      146

or just 'cower --rsort=votes -s firefox' based on the last commit I just merged into cower.
