Auracle is a command line tool used to interact with Arch Linux's User Repository, commonly referred to as the AUR.
Auracle has a number of actions it can perform:
search: find packages in the AUR by regular expression.info: return detailed information about packages.show: show the contents of a source file for a package (e.g. the PKGBUILD)raw{info,search}: similar to info and search, but output raw json responses rather than formatting them.clone: clone the git repository for packages.buildorder: show the order and origin of packages that need to be built for a given set of AUR packages.outdated: attempt to find updates for installed AUR packages.update: clone out of date foreign packages
Auracle does not currently, and will probably never:
- Build packages for you.
- Look at upstream VCS repos to find updates.
Building auracle requires:
- A C++17 compiler
- meson
- libsystemd
- libalpm
- libcurl
Testing additionally depends on:
- gmock
- gtest
- python3
You're probably building this from the AUR, though, so just go use the PKGBUILD.
If you're hacking on auracle, you can do this manually:
$ meson build
$ ninja -C buildAnd running the tests is simply a matter of:
$ meson test -C build
