[aur-general] Regex on search page
Hi all, I started wondering today about whether or not we could benefit from having the option of searching for AUR packages using regular expressions on the search page. For example, today I wanted to list all ruby gems on the AUR, so I thought searching `ruby-` would be enough, but it's got a bunch of other packages like `chruby-git` in there too. If we could even just use basic regex techniques like start of line and end of line, it'd be a big help. What do you all think? -- David Phillips GPG Key 0x7BF3D17D0884BF5B Fingerprint 2426 235A 7831 AA2F 56AF 4BC0 7BF3 D17D 0884 BF5B

They have their weak points too, but they seemingly remember others who searched for the same. "The same" seems not to be just a keyword, but the resume of searches with different keywords, there seems to be some kind of AI and ignorance of data protection behind the search algorithms.

What from those helpers https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_helpers do you recommend for searching the AUR?

I don't understand why some people are against such helpers.

So assumed there would be a helper that provides the kind of search you need, you won't use it, as a matter of principle and because there are freakish discussions about helpers? Assumed somebody can recommend a good helper to search the AUR, I'm willing to test it.

If (more or less) all it did was search the AUR, then I would look at using it. But the regex thing is such a trivial thing to implement on the AUR search. -- David Phillips GPG Key 0x7BF3D17D0884BF5B Fingerprint 2426 235A 7831 AA2F 56AF 4BC0 7BF3 D17D 0884 BF5B

I don't know if any AUR helpers support this, but you can just get a
list of all AUR packages with this command and then pipe to grep to
match by regex.
curl http://cryptocrack.de/files/aurpkglist.txt.gz | zcat | awk
'NR>1{gsub("%2B","+");print $1}'

Is opposition to AUR helpers really so hard to believe? A few years ago, there were a lot of people posting comments about "the build system being broken" when they were actually experiencing bugs in yaourt. More on topic: if this gets implemented, I will again ask for typeahead suggestions to be removed as they would not be very good at predicting all the regex searches that can be tried.

When ever yaourt failed to build for me, makepkg failed too, e.g.
regarding to a tmp issue. The only drawback I'm aware of is that yaourt
doesn't automatically informs you about "upgrades" of e.g. git
packages, likely it's not a drawback, but an advantage.
Run
pacman -Q | grep git
and decide on your own, if you want to upgrade one of those packages or
svn or ...

Thank you, that might help David too. His feature request anyway is a
good idea.
