(Edit: I always forget that Beehaw will convert every ampersand character in code segments to &
. Have this in mind when reading the code below. Do you have these problems too with your instance?)
If you update your system from terminal, do you have a shortcut that bundles bunch of commands? I'm on EndevourOS/Arch using Flatpak. Rustup is installed and managed by itself. The empty command is a function to display and delete files in the trash using the program trash-cli
. In my .bashrc:
alias update='eos-update --yay \
; flatpak uninstall --unused \
; flatpak update \
; rustup update \
; empty'
empty() {
trash-empty -f --dry-run |
awk '{print $3}' |
grep -vF '/info/'
trash-empty -f
}
I just need to type update
. Also there are following two aliases, which are used very rarely, at least months apart and are not part of the main update routine:
alias mirrors='sudo reflector \
--protocol https \
--verbose \
--latest 25 \
--sort rate \
--save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist \
&& eos-rankmirrors --verbose \
&& yay -Syyu'
alias clean='paccache -rk3 \
&& paccache -ruk1 \
&& journalctl --vacuum-time=4weeks \
&& balooctl6 disable \
&& balooctl6 purge \
&& balooctl6 enable \
&& trash-empty -f'
This question is probably asked a million times, but the replies are always fun and sometimes reveals improvements from others to adapt.
On Arch I don't need any, I just run
paru
without any options, which by default invokes a full Pacman update, as well as updating all AUR packages. But I have a system maintenance script, that, besides doing some other stuff that's specific to my system, runsparu -Sc --noconfirm
to clean the Pacman package cache, and delete unneeded cloned AUR Git repos and build artifacts.
