aurutils is a collection of scripts to automate usage of the Arch User Repository, with different tasks such as package searching, update checks, or computing dependencies kept separate.
The chosen approach for managing packages is local pacman
repositories, rather than foreign (installed by pacman -U)
packages.
Install one of the following packages:
aurutilsfor the release version (recommended).aurutils-gitfor the master branch.
Upgrade notices are posted to the Arch forums. (RSS)
Documentation is included as groff manuals. aur(1) contains a
general overview, instructions on creating a local repository, and
several examples.

| Minor changes (incompatible) | Result in a bump of minor version (x.y.0). Typically used when application names or command-line options change in a minor way. |
