[solved] Where does yaourt store packages it creates from AUR ?

Hi !

Using yaourt for AUR access, pretty happy with it, too (most features & fast enough for me).

Now when I install something from the AUR, I'd like to keep a backup copy of the package (handy especially for some git / svn packages that do not always build). This leads to the question, where does yaourt store the packages before installing (should be able to grab a copy then ...) ? Or does yaourt itself keep a backup copy somewhere, like pacman does ?

Thanks, A.

Good question. AFAIK yourt does not do that at all by default.

/etc/yaourtrc

#   ExportToLocalRepository /var/cache/pacman/pkg

Uncomment and type path in. Your user should have write permission when building not as root.

Resurrecting this thread for new viewers since the solution has changed.
Edit /etc/yaourtrc and add:

EXPORT=2

Please don't do that; that is what the wiki is for. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … Bumping.27
