## Usage
### Notes
* The scope of this module is installation and update from the AUR; for package removal or system upgrade from the official repositories, it is recommended to use the official *pacman* module.
* The *--needed* parameter of the helper is systematically used, it means if a package is up to date, it is not built and reinstalled.
### Examples
Use it in a task, as in the following examples:
```
# Install trizen using makepkg, skip if trizen is already installed
- aur: name=trizen use=makepkg state=present
become: yes
become_user: aur_builder
# Install package_name using the first known helper found
- aur: name=package_name
...
# Install package_name_1 and package_name_2 using trizen
- aur:
use: trizen
name:
- package_name_1
- package_name_2
...
# Upgrade - using pacaur
- aur: upgrade=yes use=pacaur
...
```

### Create the "aur_builder" user
While Ansible expects to SSH as root, AUR helpers do not allow executing operations as root, they all fail with "you cannot perform this operation as root". It is therefore recommended to create a user, let's call it *aur_builder*, that has no need for password with pacman in sudoers.
This can be done in Ansible with the following actions:
