(paru/yay) Update aur apps without having to worry about a sudo prompt mid update (--sudoloop) (lemmy.zip)

You can use --sudoloop option with your normal update command and paru/yay will ensure the terminal session remains authenticated until the command has ended. For example:

paru -Syu --sudoloop

This way, after long builds, paru/yay won't have to wait for you to enter the sudo pass, or timeout and thus fail to install the built packages. This was something that really annoyed me as someone new to Linux/Arch.

Often if there is a -bin version of a package, it is a precompiled binary and will not need to be compiled from scratch. As a general rule, the -bin version of the packages are usually preferred when available.
