Prompt for sudo authorization before building

[stereomato]

Paru does this, iirc. Sometimes I do other stuff with my computer when I leave aura building a package, and as such I always miss the prompt for sudo, only realizing when the Console app gives me a "aura command has finished" notification.

sudo isn't necessary for building, only the final installation, in which it does prompt you for sudo. It sounds like the sudo request is timing out?

[stereomato]

Yeah, that. Sorry, I got confused in that bit yeah. It times out when asking for installation yes.

Yeah, building complete, user deep at sleep, aura timing out ;)

[sudo] password for ruben: 
sudo: timed out reading password
sudo: a password is required
aura :: A call to pacman -U failed.

Another workaround would be to not fail hard if that happens, but just to wait for an "Enter" by the user to show this prompt again.

However, paru has a nice convenient feature, where it loops a sudo as long as it's building, so it retains the ability to run sudo without a password prompt.

yeah!
