Issues & Assistance
1

Hello,

i have installed the cachy-update package. I dont like to use AUR packages(Security). Some packages are now orphan from the Repo. This packages comes now from AUR.

When i make an update then are there two AUR updates.

The Question now is how can i ignore the AUR-updates permanently?

Create a new file at ~/.config/arch-update/arch-update.conf

This is the full text of the sample config provided by the git page. You obviously don’t need everything. Copy and paste as much as you want:

# Arch-Update example configuration file (available at <https://github.com/Antiz96/arch-update/blob/main/res/config/arch-update.conf.example>).
# Documentation for this configuration file is available in the arch-update.conf(5) man page (see <https://github.com/Antiz96/arch-update/blob/main/doc/man/arch-update.conf.5.scd>).
# List of available options (with their default value) below, un-comment one to enable it.

#NoColor
#NoVersion
#NoAUR
#NoFlatpak
#NoNotification
#NewsNum=5
#NewsTimeout=10
#AURHelper=paru
#PrivilegeElevationCommand=sudo
#KeepOldPackages=3
#KeepUninstalledPackages=0
#DiffProg=$DIFFPROG
#TrayIconStyle=blue

Then, assuming the config works properly, you should just be able to uncomment the “NoAUR” line and be set to go.

Is there a way to configure notifications to appear, for example, when 10 or 15 updates are available? I know this is Arch, but the notification about a new update appears too often, sometimes three times a day.

And this is one of the many reasons such a utility is often considered unnecessary by old hats.

Arch has updates most every day, and often multiple times a day.

And updates are not forced - you can perform then whenever you like.

So a notifier of updates just seems .. somewhat pointless.

Then should not those packages be uninstalled?
