Added

  • Aura is now configurable via a conf file! Aura expects it at
    /etc/aura.conf, but will not break if it's missing. If you install Aura via
    its AUR package, this file will be installed for you automatically.
  • A new top-level command: -P. This allows users to analyse PKGBUILD
    files manually, as is usually done during building.
    • -Pf accepts a path to a PKGBUILD.
    • -Pd accepts a path to a directory containing a PKGBUILD.
    • -Pa to scan the PKGBUILDs of all locally installed AUR packages.
    • -P on its own will read from stdin. Combine this with -Ap to pull from the AUR:
> aura -Ap myget | aura -P

    sudo pacman -S aurvote

aura >>= sudo indicates that someone may be trying to gain root access to your machine.
aura >>= Potential PKGBUILD vulnerabilities detected.
  • A new flag --vcspath to accompany the new VCS build behaviour (see below).
  • A new flag --allsourcepath to accompany the restored --allsource
    functionality (see below).
  • -O --adopt can now be called as -Oa.

Changed

  • VCS packages (e.g. *-git, *-svn, etc.) and their cloned sources are now
    built and stored in /var/cache/aura/vcs. Subsequent builds will no longer
    reclone everything.
    #462
  • --hotedit will now offer to edit .install and .patch files. #208
  • Some modules have been renamed and moved around.
  • Aura.Diff and Aura.Pkgbuild.Base have had their contents folded into other
    modules.

Fixed

  • A regression that broke -Bc. #592
  • The functionality of --allsource has been restored. #538
  • A minor difference in the behaviour of -Ss relative to pacman. #599
