aurutils is a collection of scripts to automate usage of the Arch User Repository, with different tasks such as package searching, update checks, or computing dependencies kept separate.

The chosen approach for managing packages is local pacman repositories, rather than foreign (installed by pacman -U) packages.

Install one of the following packages:

• aurutils for the release version (recommended).
• aurutils-git for the master branch.

Upgrade notices are posted to the Arch forums. (RSS)

Documentation is included as man pages with groff typesetting. They provide a general overview of the various utilities with several examples. Detailed instructions on how to set up a local repository can be found in the section CREATING A LOCAL REPOSITORY of the aur(1) man page.
