*ansible-aur* is an Ansible module to use some AUR helpers. The following helpers are supported:

- pacaur (default)
- trizen
- yaourt
- yay

> Notes:
> * It is recommended to use the official *pacman* module for removals or for upgrades with the repositories, this module aims to cover the AUR,
> * Searches are limited to the AUR using the *--aur* parameter except for *yay* and *yaourt* which do not support it and systematically search the repositories,
> * A package is reinstalled only if an update is available using the *--needed* parameter except for *yay* which do not support it and systematically reinstalls,
