Pacman cache and yay/eos-update

I’ve setup a basic Pacman cache using ‘CacheServer = server:port’ in ‘/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist’ and it’s working as expected.

Do I now have to update only using ‘sudo pacman -syu’ or can I still use the ‘eos-update’ shortcut which I see uses Yay.

This question goes for the machine with the cache I intend to use and the clients.

Yay is pacman frontend and has some read only in libalpm… yay is not a pm itself it just a frontend

I understand this, the only cause I can see for me to use it is updating AUR apps so will probably just avoid using it for main updates as I only use one AUR app.

“It has some read only in lbalpm” I don’t understand this sorry.

You can use either.

yay is using pacman to do the updates so it will honor your settings either way.

Awesome thanks.

Libalpm is the core…yay use that for read stuf

Major pacman changes yay can be delayed by a day and feeds a error back but not that serious
