Re: (optional) AUR helper in archinstall

I've always considered AUR as non official, user submitted, non vetted

Having an AUR helper inside core or extra flies against that and may imply an endorsement

i see this (avoiding an appearance of endorsement, "nothing to worry about") as a good reason not to put an AUR helper in core/extra. Łukasz Michalski <lm@zork.pl> wrote:

The main advantage of AUR helper is dependency management - if I want to install package X, helper will install all dependencies from AUR and from official repos. Doing it by hand with makepkg is cumbersome.

on the other hand, it is dealing with dependencies that moves me to use an aur helper (aurutils in my case). cheers, Greg
