i would suggest adding -a, --aur flag to the -Q (query operation) which do the aur equivalent of what pacman does

aura -Qua

Is that not the same as aura -Qmu?

according to pacman, -m show foreign packages (≈ aur packages) but it obviously can't be combined with -u, because pacman can't check aur packages (it return with an error code of 1, and no error messages in my machine) and since the -m flag is not mentioned in aura's man page, i assumed that it just pass the job to pacman (which can't do the job), but i tried running aura -Qmu anyways, it existed with an error code and without an error message, i assume it passed the job to pacman

pacman can't accept -Qmu but aura should do it, and once implemented it should be added to the man page

using -m would be better than adding a new flag like -a

Thank you for explanation. I only tested is by doing aura -Qmu and it didnt show any error messages so I assumed it was working (all my aur packages were up to date). Do you know if any aur helper has this functionality?

While not as minimal as the output of -Qu, -Au --dryrun can display a lot of the information you're looking for.

thank you, but do you plan on implementing -Qmu and Qu so that they include aur updates?

It has been Aura policy to not manipulate the native Pacman commands (e.g. -S, -Q, etc) or add any new suboptions to them. If you like, I could add a subflag to -Au that does specifically what you're asking and matches the output of -Qu.

yes please, and thank you
