Add an option to merge and accept all changes
It would be nice to have an option to merge and accept all changes. I have very few packages from the AUR installed, and i personally vet the maintainers and only use packages from maintainers that I trust.
Having to M
and O
these packages every time is annoying in this case. While I understand the intent, I never actually inspect the diffs, and only sometimes run shellcheck.
I know this might go against the intent of rua
and what one is supposed to do, but because I trust the maintainers of these packages, I don't really feel the need to do that (particularly if I am the maintainer).
Would it be possible to add a way to automatically merge and accept the changes, e.g., via an option or an environment variable or some other way?
Thanks.
@gnzlbg Hi! I think that should be possible. You can introduce a flag like --trust
, e.g.
rua upgrade --trust=abc,def
and make the environment variable RUA_TRUST
also assign to the same parameter.
To make this work, you'll have to introduce the new parameter in cli_args.rs
, and when a trusted package is upgraded, attempt merge (fall back to prompt if it fails) and auto-accept the package if merged succeeded.
Overall, such a feature is indeed a bit on the edge from a security perspective. But if it's explicit enough, explained enough and turned off by default, I'm good with having this option. Will definitely accept a quality PR to introduce this
