$ makepkg -si
==> ERROR: PKGBUILD does not exist.
Seems like the solution is described here https://github.com/Jguer/yay/issues/1179 :
You need to clone the AUR git repo.
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/yay/
However, I don’t understand, clone it where? Just clone it into what folder, and that’s it? Then makepkg -si
will work?
If it’s an URL that doesn’t provide a PKGBUILD file, you can’t use makepkg.
You can get the PKGBUILD with :
yay -G rtl8192eu-git

yay -G rtl8192eu-git
cd rtl8192eu-git
makepkg -si

In the future if an update breaks something, don’t forget about “downgrade”

Yes, I knew about downgrade… but the next update would have broken it again anyway… or it wouldn’t have broken?

I had to downgrade the amd-unicode or whatever because it made all my apps (mostly games) get REALLY dysfunctional and chuggy. I’ll probably have to wait until the June release to update it lol
