[Feature Request] Command to download sources and PKGBUILDs

Open 132ikl opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

With pacman, you can run pacman -Syyuw --noconfirm to download all packages automatically and then simply run pacman -Syu later to install the downloaded packages. Something like this in yay would be nice. Ideally it would download both the sources and the PKGBULIDs, which would allow the user to later run yay -Syu to actually install the packages.

-G?

-G only downloads PKGBUILDS, not sources, and installs them in the current directory, which means you can't just run yay -Syu right after using -G.

This will lead you to build the packages not install them. This it not implement yet but should be.
