Which AUR helper ?

Hello,

Today I found this page of the wiki : [wiki]AUR Helpers[/wiki]

Big surprise, I was thinking yaourt was the only one capable of installing program from AUR...

So should I use another one than yaourt ?

Clyde looks good but is still in beta so I'm not sure about it.

What are the differences between other packages managers ?

Thank you

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

OP had already seen the full list, and I was too lazy to paste every related thread so I picked those three.

Re: Which AUR helper ?

And by the way, yaourt has became damn slow on my computer.
The search for a package took a few seconds before but now it's about 2-3 minutes...
Any idea why ?

I suggest opening another thread for this.
Sorry, I have no idea why it's so slow.

extra/firefox 3.6.7-1 [installed]
    Standalone web browser from mozilla.org

real    0m56.496s
user    0m0.210s
sys    0m0.320s
$ time yaourt -Ss ^firefox$
extra/firefox 3.6.7-1 [installed]
    Standalone web browser from mozilla.org


real    0m2.040s
user    0m0.250s
sys    0m0.143s
$ time pacman -Ss ^firefox$
extra/firefox 3.6.7-1 [installed]
    Standalone web browser from mozilla.org
