aurman 的作者 polygamma 宣布不再維護，並建議大家改用 yay

這其實不是新聞了 [1][2]，只是我一直用到今天也沒有遇到什麼問題，還覺得 aurman 會提醒我們要閱讀 archlinudx.org 上面的新公告挺好的 [3]，馬上就被提醒說 aurman 已經不再維護了。


aurman [4] 的作者 polygamma 在 ＧitHub Repo README.md 是這麼寫的：

Stopped development for public use 

I am not willing to continue developing aurman for public use. The GitHub issues are closed, I am not interested in feedback, feature requests or bug reports anymore. aurman is going to be developed for myself only from now on, I suggest migrating to yay. 

For people interested in the why, see: https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/9aotjr/aurman_no_longer_being_maintained_publicly/ 

And also a clarification about the yay recommendation: 

I am recommending yay instead of aurman, because from a users point of view, it may be nicer to have the possibility to give feedback. From a pure technical point of view, there is no need to switch, if you are happy with aurman as of now. Since I need an AUR helper myself, aurman development will continue. Do not expect frequent updates however, because current aurman fulfills all of my needs. If I do not encounter bugs, or other changes are needed in order for aurman to work properly, there is nothing to be done for me. In case that this situation changes, the README in the GitHub repository will inform about it.

遙想起 2018 年從 yaourt [5] 改用 aurman 也是相同的原因， yaourt 的英文頁面是這麼寫的：

Yaourt is not maintained anymore ! Please choose another AUR Helper: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_helpers 

Yaourt is a command line interface program which complete pacman for installing software on Archlinux.
