# yaycache
Flexible yay cache cleaning similar to paccache.
## Usage
Usage is essentially the same as with [paccache](https://man.archlinux.org/man/paccache.8).
See `man yaycache` for more information, or view the docs [here](https://yaycache.aokellermann.dev).
### Pacman Hook
You can use `yaycache-hook` package (similar to `paccache-hook`) to automatically run `yaycache` with
configurable arguments after your `pacman` transactions.
```sh
yay -S yaycache-hook
```
The configuration is stored in `/etc/yaycache-hook.conf`.
### Systemd service
An optional systemd service is included that will run weekly:
```sh
systemctl enable --now yaycache.timer
```
## Installing
An AUR package is available:
```sh
yay -S yaycache
```
## Building
You can build the package yourself:
```sh
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make check
make install DESTDIR="$pkgdir"
```
