Here I little hack I coded to install packages directly from the AUR frontend. Needed: - yaourt - Firefox with greasemonkey (https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/748) or any greasemonkey-scripts accepting browser. Steps: 1. Create a small bash script called aur_opener.sh containing the following code: #!/usr/bin/env bash gnome-terminal -x /usr/bin/yaourt -S ${1//aur:\/\//} 2. Make the script executable 3. Open about:config in Firefox and add the following variable: network.protocol-handler.app.aur with value: path to aur_opener.sh
From now on, every time you click on a link like the following: aur://pkgname yaourt will start.
4. Install the greasemonkey script AURlizer (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/61015). 5. Visit any page on the AUR db. A new symbol [↓] will appear next to the package name. Click on it and install! Enjoy. PS Obviously, it would be very easy to implement this directly into yaourt / the AUR db. -- Giorgio F.
