When I install something from yay, I get following options:
Packages to cleanBuild?
[N]one [A]ll [Ab]ort [I]nstalled [No]tInstalled or (1 2 3, 1-3, ^4)
Does anyone has an explanation about the options or could share a link?
Besides some people asking the same question, I couldn't find any documentation about what each of these options do and which ones are recommended.
Yay keeps a cache of packages to help building go a bit faster. Sometimes it can cause issues if things have changed that the cached build system can't detect. Clean build removes the cached files and re-downloads everything to install. None means don't clean build, all means all listed packages that need upgrading. don't know about installed vs installed I never used those flags. The numbers correspond to the number by the package if you want to only select specific ones.
