Hi,
I've recently switched from yaourt to pacaur.
With yaourt, I used to udate my system (both official and AUR packages) like this
$ yaourt -Syua
With pacaur, according to the documentation, -Syua only updates AUR packages and reading the help, the correct way to update both base packages and AUR packaes to me it seems this
$ pacaur -Syu
However I had the feeling that the above command is only updating base packages (not the AUR ones), so I searched the internet and I found some people saying that -Syu won't update AUR... but is seems to be in conflict with what the help says
$ pacaur -h
usage: pacaur <operation> [options] [target(s)] -- See also pacaur(8)
operations:
pacman extension
-S, -Q extend pacman operations to the AUR
AUR specific
-s, --search search AUR for matching strings
-i, --info view package information
-d, --download download target(s) -- pass twice to download AUR dependencies
-m, --makepkg download and make target(s)
-y, --sync download, make and install target(s)
-k, --check check for AUR update(s)
-u, --update update AUR package(s)
general
-v, --version display version information
-h, --help display help information
options:
pacman extension - can be used with the -S, -Ss, -Si, -Sii, -Sw, -Su, -Qu, -Sc, -Scc operations
-a, --aur only search, build or install target(s) from the AUR
The -S switch "extend pacman operations to the AUR" and the -u switch "update AUR package(s)" whereas the -a switch "only search, build or install target(s) from the AUR".
So the correct way for updatinf both, should be -Syu.
I'm asking so because I had the feeling that the above command was not updating AUR packages...
Can someone confirm please?
Thanks!

just check the output of both, while looking for
:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: Starting AUR upgrade...
Arch is home!

The documentation is always right. At least when it conflicts with random dudes on the Internet.
Also have a look at the man page at least once, it's always useful to correctly configure pacaur to your liking.
