Hi all,
today the update to pacman 7.0.0-r3 was installed on my machine
through the core-testing repository. I am usually using the AUR helper
yay for any kind of updates. After the update, yay didn't start
anymore, as the library version of libalpm increased to 15 and yay was
still looking for 14. A manual rebuild of yay easily fixed this.
However, I am wondering if there is any way how to make such an update
smoother, so that yay would be rebuilt in the same step after pacman
was updated and avoid the necessity for a manual rebuild?
You need a custom post-transaction hook that will rebuild and install
yay. After pacman may be too early. It is safer to do it after full OS
upgrade. I am too lazy to automate it, I just usually do:
cd ~/aur/yay
git pull
makepkg -si
... where ~/aur/yay is a git clone from AUR.

Łukasz
