Trying to install yay under Nemesis-v22.08
https://www.makeuseof.com/install-and-u ... rch-linux/

I get:

Any cue?

Thanks.

Hi francois,

You can grab the EndeavourOS build (as I do)...

Or maybe try to build for yourself with trizen.

[ncmprhnsbl]

this:

ERROR: Running makepkg as root is not allowed

then this:

ERROR: Failed to create the directory $BUILDDIR (/root/yay).

solution:
run makepkg (or trizen or yay or any other aur helper) as normal user (ie. guest) in a directory that guest can write to (eg. /home/guest/* or /tmp or some mounted posix partition) not /root/*

[beny]

hi francois first you have to build yay from source second you have to add this to pacman.conf
[archlinuxfr]
SigLevel = Never
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/$arch

and you have to install also go without all this step no yay and yay as pkgbuild work a lot with source code you need also the devel package
and arch or nemesis now have make a jump gcc 13 and python 3.11 all the packages build with yay or pman -Syu are against this new software,ok just for the record.

@all:
Thanks for the prompt replies.

@Eerie:
I would like to work with yay. Thanks.

@beny:
Building with git, isn't that building from source? Do you want me to build from ABS:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_Build_System

[ncmprhnsbl]

make: error while loading shared libraries: libunistring.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

my guess is that this indicates that this nemesis build is too old now to satisfy yay's dependencies.
there is a new release in the works, but i'm otherwise occupied atm.
not sure what the attraction of yay is, though.

[francois]

You mean that yay which replaced yaourt will not improve package management on nemesis and that pman would be more usefull as it has the advantage to build modules. Is it?

Octopi is a gui frontend for pacman and aur packages:
https://manjaro.site/how-to-enable-aur-in-octopi/

Interesting to follow what is on the system. But once again not simplifying module production.

Unable to install octopi for the same reason as yay and google-chrome.

I'll wait next version of nemesis.

Thanks.

[beny]

hi francois yay or ABS if you want to play with packages you can use the pacman command instead of pman when you know where pacman download the packages you have to use sudo pacman -Sw and ask at development crew a script that unpack all the packages so after this you can make a xzm package,when you do this better to mask the modules directory pacman check inside and if it find a duplicate it removed from the list

[M. Eerie]

I would like to work with yay. Thanks.

So, you can get the package ready to install from this link I've already posted above.

Once you download, you simply:
# pacman -U yay-12.0.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

and you get yay installed.

(yay is actively maintained by the EndeavourOS team)

@Eerie:
Thanks so much.
@beny:
As before, pman does not work as well as pacman. That is OK, and noted.
Thanks.
