Yay: FR: Add config option to build all AUR packages before installing them

Created on 9 May 2019  路  4Comments  路  Source: Jguer/yay

Currently, each package is built and then installed before moving on to the next package.
There should be a configuration option to build all packages first, and then install them all, instead of alternating build and install steps.

In particular, this would be helpful to avoid needing to type a password for sudo after every sufficiently-long build, though that is not the only motivation for this feature request.

I always run into this when there is an update to zfs-dkms, because it links its version to zfs-utils. I always have to build those myself and install them at the same time via pacman. It would be really great if yay could do that.

@T4cC0re you can use -d to skip version check, just make sure you're only updating zfs when you're updating with -d for safety

See #778. This sounds to be what you all need. Seems like there's an actual purpose for it now.

Merged, try out --batchinstall.
