README.md: arch linux install instructions use discontinued aur-helper yaourt #59
Comments
Ah ha. Interesting. I run Ubuntu myself, can you PR readme updates? |
Fixed in PR #60 |
You may want to just remove the mention of AUR helpers altogether. See NASA-SW-VnV/ikos#15 |
I understand the idea behind that AUR-helpers are not "official" and every 2 years a new one is "in" and AladW don't like AUR-helpers, but if we go down that road then we should remove the reference to "layman" under gentoo, and "homebrew" for Mac OS. Anything except for building from source should be removed? Or we rephrase it to something like "Build form source or use whatever AUR-Helper you like. PS. yaourt is deprecated" |
I don't think the analogy applies. layman is a gentoo project, not a random tool some random person made: https://github.com/gentoo/layman the homebrew tool is officially supported by the homebrew devs (who also manage the homebrew repos and all that) Similarly makepkg is officially supported by the arch team. And is also the tool mentioned in all documentation. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Getting_started. My point wasn't to remove mention of the AUR, only AUR helpers. Really arch users shouldn't need any instructions on how to use the AUR. All your project (and any other) really needs to say is When project's official documentation goes along the times of |
yaourt is discontinued, an good replacement is "yay".
