Hi, yay keeps the package in a place you can look for in the man page, do $ man yay and search for CACHE.

But anyway, definitely do not use an AUR helper for installing st. It's simply not designed to.

I suggest you read https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=267579 and maybe open your own thread in the forum.

markboston, When you've downloaded the package, gunzipped and untared it, there are 3 files : PKGBUILD README.terminfo.rst terminfo.patch

Generate config.def.h by running: $ makepkg --nobuild

Modify it, for instance : #define MODKEY Mod4Mask

Build it without reextracting the source: $ makepkg --noextract

Install the package: $ makepkg --install

It's been a long time, correct me if I'm wrong.

where is the config.def.h file located? ive looked through my whole system and can't find this file.

It's been now 2 months since this (super important) PKGBUILD has been marked out of date, and no response was given.

Has anyone tried to contact the listed contacts ?

Hello, since packages are now compressed with zstandard by default, can you please add that pattern to .gitignore:

diff --git a/.gitignore b/.gitignore
index 2d32340..2d7d03c 100644
--- a/.gitignore
+++ b/.gitignore
@@ -1,4 +1,5 @@
 /*.pkg.tar.xz
+/*.pkg.tar.zst
 /config.def.h
 /config.h
 /pkg/

Thank you.

Please consider using the patch(1) options -d and -p instead of --directory and --strip, so that GNU patch is not required.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_package_guidelines#Package_etiquette:

Do not use makepkg subroutines (e.g. error, msg, msg2, plain, warning) as they might change at any time. To print data, use printf or echo.

This package is needlessly using warning.
