yay --version yay v12.3.5 - libalpm v14.0.0
yay -s displays:
yay -s expac -> Avoid running yay as root/sudo. 3 aur/expac-git 9.2.g6be7fe1-1 (+37 0.00) (Out-of-date: 2024-01-01) pacman database extraction utility 2 extra/texlive-mathscience 2024.2-2 (3.7 MiB 18.2 MiB) [texlive] (Installed) TeX Live - Mathematics, natural sciences, computer science packages 1 extra/expac 10-10 (13.6 KiB 29.4 KiB) alpm data (pacman database) extraction utility ==> Packages to install (eg: 1 2 3, 1-3 or ^4) ==> -> EOF
I like the display, and option to select which to install. But it seems it's not supported?
yay -s
After being given a prompt we are allowed to install with it. Actually I tested paru and they output a formatted list:
paru -s expac 1 extra/expac 10-10 [13.65 KiB 29.38 KiB] alpm data (pacman database) extraction utility 2 extra/texlive-mathscience 2024.2-2 [0 B 18.18 MiB] [Installed] (texlive) TeX Live - Mathematics, natural sciences, computer science packages 3 aur/expac-git 9.2.g6be7fe1-1 [+37 ~0.00] [Out-of-date: 2024-01-01] pacman database extraction utility :: Select packages (eg: 1 2 3, 1-3): :: 2 3 extra/texlive-mathscience aur/expac-git
This would be cool too. It seems -s is not actually an option for pacman, but it seems nice to have.
-s passes an option into the system yay expac should provide the desired behavior if understand it correctly
yay expac
