AUR Helper
AUR helpers automate usage of the Arch User Repository. In particular, they may automate the following tasks:
- searching for packages published on the AUR.
- resolving of dependencies between AUR packages.
- retrieve and build AUR packages.
- retrieve web content, such as user comments.
- submission of AUR packages.
Pacman only handles updates for pre-built packages in its repositories. AUR packages are redistributed in form of PKGBUILDs and need an AUR helper to automate the re-build process. However, keep in mind that a rebuild of package may be required when its shared library dependencies are updated, not only when the package itself is updated.
