Puppet / PUP-3802 pacman provider's yaourt support now totally broken Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Kylo Ginsberg Components: Types and Providers Created: 2014/12/31 7:03 PM Labels: arch pacman yaourt Priority: Normal Reporter: Jason Antman As of pacman 4.2, the pacman provider's yaourt support is totally broken by an upstream change. https://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.git/commit/?id=61ba5c961e4a3536c4bbf41edb348987a9993fdb removed the --asroot option from makepkg, so yaourt can no longer build packages as root. Speaking with some people in the Arch community, it seems like a bad idea and big security hole that it ever could. I'll be researching alternatives, but it seems like the best thing would probably be to just deprecate the yaourt support. Add Comment

Re: pacman provider's yaourt support now totally broken Executing yaourt with "sudo -S -u nobody" should allow root to run the command. This will execute it as the nobody user. This works from within my own scritps that get run as root. I will make some attempts to get a development environment set up for Puppet to test this out but I belive it should be a viable way forwards.

Re: pacman provider's yaourt support now totally broken Hi Antony Jordan, this is quite an old ticket and we're not sure we want to keep supporting yaourt, as it is not even mentioned anymore on the AUR helpers wiki page and many users have complained about security issues regarding it. If you'd like to implement support for a different AUR helper such as yay (which is in active development), please open a ticket with that in scope. Thanks!
