      FYI: yay is no longer maintained (Untrue! See response below). Use paru instead Consider paru as an alternative option; it’s written in Rust and has better version tracking for *-git packages (won’t miss upgrades if the AUR version isn’t tracked, won’t do pointless upgrades if the AUR version changes but HEAD remains unchanged)

          Huh! I appear to have fallen victim to misinformation. I stand corrected and I apologize for not properly confirm such a strong claim before repeating it like that.

          I suppose a more accurate way to put it is that yay has been slower to adopt new features (e.g.: yay#336 vs paru#260), but otherwise remains a current and well-maintained piece of software.

            I was about to throw my computer out the window when you said that because I literally just implemented a bunch of ansible playbooks using yay to configure my machines and after yogurt et. al. being abandoned, I couldn’t take another change. Not yet. I’ll check out paru at some point though.

          FYI: I was misinformed about yay being unmaintained. Sorry about the misleading comment! I personally like paru, but if you’re already using yay there may not actually be any compelling reason for you to switch.

            I deeply appreciate the correction, thanks for letting me know!

            I’ll still check out paru at some point, but now with less anxiety about the state of yay.
