aura: Update all AUR packages in a verbose mode and remove all make dependencies.
$ aura --aursync --diff --sysupgrade --delmakedeps --unsuppress
try on your machine

The command provided is a combination of several options for the "aura" package manager. Here is an explanation of each flag used:

  • --aursync: This flag tells aura to synchronize with the Arch User Repository (AUR) to check for updates or new packages in the AUR.

  • --diff: This flag indicates that aura should show a difference between the local package database and the AUR database. It will show if there are any updates or new packages available in the AUR.

  • --sysupgrade: This flag is used to upgrade all packages on the system to their latest versions.

  • --delmakedeps: This flag instructs aura to delete packages that were only required for building other packages but are no longer needed.

  • --unsuppress: This flag is used to remove suppressed updates. If a package update was suppressed (i.e., not installed) in the past, this flag will undo the suppression and allow the update to proceed.

Therefore, this command is instructing aura to synchronize with the AUR, show a difference between local and AUR package databases, upgrade all packages, remove unneeded dependencies, and unsuppress any previously suppressed updates.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
