yaourt and packages that have been moved from AUR to community

Well first off, why does yaourt even wanna build the package if it has been removed? I did a search in the AUR and all I see is stress 1.0.0-1. I thought I read somewhere that yaourt is a wrapper for pacman and therefor would search the repositories before it searches the AUR for the program?

[jasin@kermit ~]$ yaourt -S stress

==> Downloading stress PKGBUILD from AUR...
==> WARNING: It seems like stress was removed from AUR probably for security reason. Please Abort
stress 0.18.9-1 (NOT SAFE): A tool that stress tests your system (CPU, memory, I/O, disks)

==> stress dependencies:

==>  Edit the PKGBUILD (recommended) ? [Y/n] ("A" to abort)
==>   ----------------------------------------------
==>n

==>  Continue the building of 'stress'? [Y/n] 
==>   ----------------------------------------------
==>n

[jasin@kermit ~]$ sudo pacman -S stress
resolving dependencies...

Total Installed Size:   0.04 MB

This doesn't seem right to me either... is it just me or should yaourt be informed on where stress has gone if it has been removed from AUR and not just leave yaourt open ended with a basic error?

I tried

[jasin@kermit ~]$ yaourt -S community/stress

==> Downloading community/stress PKGBUILD from AUR...
Error: community/stress not found in AUR.

but yaourt thinks it should be a package in AUR. But I presume this should be added functionality in yaourt to work like pacman?

Re: yaourt and packages that have been moved from AUR to community

yaourt -Sy

it didn't work, but then again according to  the documentation it shouldn't. That ^^^ command is the same as pacman -Sy.

I did try it though.

Re: yaourt and packages that have been moved from AUR to community

hmm, works here.
How long ago was it added to community? Maybe the repo your using isn't updated yet?

hmm, maybe I should update yaourt... I never thought about it but yaourt will not update itself.

edit:

yaourt -Su --aur

yes, that fixed it. never thought about updating AUR packages.

would be alright to add something like this to .bashrc to make this whole process a one time command?

alias pac-update="yaourt -Syyu | yaourt -Su --aur"

the answer to this ^^^ is NO, because the second command locks the database. U would need a way to tell it to pause until the first command finished, then issue the second command. I quite frankly do not understand enough of linux bash programming to accomplish that ATM.

Re: yaourt and packages that have been moved from AUR to community

Hi jacko,

First, add this repository in pacman.conf:

[archlinuxfr]
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/i686

yaourt will always be up to date now

To update packages from AUR Unsupported automatically with -Su, you can uncomment this line in yaourtrc:

AlwaysUpgradeAur yes

see more with man yaourtrc

#1: Problem: I have Arch 64 installed. That is a repository for i686.

#2: thanks for the heads up, I never realized config files had man pages till I started using arch. pacman.conf was the first one that surprised me. I will now read the man pages for yaourtrc.
