- Awesome-Arch - aur-talk - A script to fetch and display AUR package comments. (AUR Helpers / Other)
README
Description
===========
These scripts fetch and display the comments of an AUR package.
Two versions are provided: Python and Shell.
The Python version is the recommended one. It is faster and has better comments
formatting. Additionally, the shell version does not support some options like
`-b` and `-i`.
This program is also available from the AUR:
[aur-talk-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/aur-talk-git/). It will be
installed as `aur-talk` and can be used directly with
[aurutils](https://github.com/AladW/aurutils) 2.0+ as a
[contrib](https://github.com/AladW/aurutils/tree/master/contrib) script (e.g.
`aur talk aurutils -p`).
