Alad Wenter 595e24b6ea lib: add aur-build--sync helper
Instead of prefixing several pacsync/pacman commands with `sudo`, wrap
the commands in an `build--sync` helper. When configurating `sudoers`
rules, this is more granular than blanket `pacsync` and `pacman` rules:
only upgrading local repository targets is whitelisted.

Compared to the previous approach, --pacman-conf does not apply to local
repository upgrades. This makes it harder to inadvertendly shoot
yourself in the foot by passing on a potentially world-writeable file to
a privileged process.

A helper can also be overridden through AUR_EXEC_PATH, and called by
other scripts that wish to replicate a restrained local repository
upgrade.

SYNOPSIS

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.

INSTALLATION

Install one of the following packages:

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

USAGE

Documentation is included as groff manuals. aur(1) contains a general overview, instructions on creating a local repository, and several examples.

TROUBLESHOOTING

See ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md. For informal discussion, see the #aurutils channel on Libera Chat.
