README.md: arch linux install instructions use discontinued aur-helper yaourt #59

Closed Rabjerg closed 5 years ago

Rabjerg commented 5 years ago

yaourt is discontinued, an good replacement is "yay". https://github.com/archlinuxfr/yaourt/issues/382#issuecomment-437461631

Ah ha. Interesting. I run Ubuntu myself, can you PR readme updates?

Rabjerg commented 5 years ago

Fixed in PR #60

You may want to just remove the mention of AUR helpers altogether. See https://github.com/NASA-SW-VnV/ikos/pull/15

Rabjerg commented 5 years ago

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"

Morganamilo commented 5 years ago

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 foo is available on the AUR. Then the user will either already know how to use the AUR and use the tool of their choice. Or look it up on the wiki and get pointed towards makepkg.

When project's official documentation goes along the times of Install using yay: yay -S foo. Then new users who have no idea what they are doing will follow those instructions not understanding makepkg and possibly thinking yay is some offical arch tool.

:thinking: #63 works for me. @Rabjerg What do you think?
