How to get a list of packages installed from the AUR?

Hi.

How to get a list of packages installed from the AUR?

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: How to get a list of packages installed from the AUR?

Some time ago I found following script somewhere in the forum. It shows which packages are outdated.

#!/bin/bash
#
# AurCheck V 0.1
#
# pbrisbin 2009
#
# script parses aur.archlinux PKGBUILDs and compares
# it to `pacman -Qm` outputs to find out if you've
# got the latest aur package installed
#
###

# Set up a working directory
WD="/tmp/aurcheck"
[ -d $WD ] || mkdir $WD

# print a header row
echo ""
line="$(echo Package Available Installed | \
  awk '{printf "%-30s %20s %20s\n", $1, $2, $3}')"
echo -e "\e[1;37m$line\e[0m"

# list out foreign packages and check the versions
pacman -Qm | while read pack; do
  name="$(echo $pack | awk '{print $1}')"
  pkgver="$(echo $pack | awk '{print $2}' | cut -d "-" -f 1)"
  pkgrel="$(echo $pack | awk '{print $2}' | cut -d "-" -f 2)"
  URL="http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/${name}/${name}/PKGBUILD"
  wget -q -O $WD/PKGBUILD "$URL"

  pkgverN="$(grep ^pkgver $WD/PKGBUILD | cut -d "=" -f 2 | tr -d '"')"
  pkgrelN="$(grep ^pkgrel $WD/PKGBUILD | cut -d "=" -f 2 | tr -d '"')"
  line="$(echo $name ${pkgverN}-${pkgrelN} ${pkgver}-${pkgrel} | awk '{printf "%-30s %20s %20s\n", $1, $2, $3}')"
  
  if [ "${pkgver}-${pkgrel}" = "${pkgverN}-${pkgrelN}" ]; then
    echo -e "\e[0;32m$line\e[0m"
  else
    echo -e "\e[1;31m$line\e[0m"
  fi
done

echo ""

# cleanup
[ -d $WD ] && rm -rf $WD

exit 0

Re: How to get a list of packages installed from the AUR?

There is a program in AUR named "aurcheck" that does this:

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=28009

I have been using it for awhile and it works well for me.
