yay -- AUR helper for Arch Linux
Layer Properties
| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| Install files | layer.yml, tasks: |
| Depends | none |
Packages
PAC: base-devel, git
Install Script
The tasks: task downloads the latest yay binary from GitHub releases:
# tasks: (in layer.yml)
tasks:
all:
cmds:
- |
ARCH=$(uname -m)
URL=$(curl -fsSL https://api.github.com/repos/Jguer/yay/releases/latest \
| grep -o "https://github.com/Jguer/yay/releases/download/[^\"]*_${ARCH}.tar.gz")
curl -fsSL "$URL" | tar -xzf - -C /usr/local/bin --strip-components=1 --wildcards '*/yay'
Architecture-aware: downloads the correct binary for x86_64 or aarch64.
What It Does
Installs the yay AUR helper, which enables the aur: package format in layer.yml. Any layer with an aur: section requires a builder that has the yay layer (and builds: [aur] capability). The base-devel and git packages are prerequisites for building AUR packages.
Usage
# image.yml — typically in a builder image
layers:
- yay
Not used directly in end-user images. Instead, it's part of the builder image that compiles AUR packages during multi-stage builds.
Used In Images
/ov-images:archlinux-builder— Arch build infrastructure image
Related Layers
/ov-layers:build-toolchain— C/C++ build tools (also in archlinux-builder)/ov-layers:arch-aur-test— test layer that validates AUR builds
When to Use This Skill
Use when the user asks about:
- AUR package support in Overthink
- The
yaylayer or AUR helper installation - How
aur:packages in layer.yml get built - The
archlinux-builderimage's AUR capability
Related
/ov:layer— layer authoring reference (layer.ymlschema, task verbs, service declarations)/ov:test— declarative testing (tests:block,ov image test,ov test)
