The good ones do, yes.

And therein lies the problem. You may review a handful up front, but then convince yourself that all is good since it's much easier to just press 'enter' and move on. It's MUCH easier to ignore a PKGBUILD when you have to hit one key to skip it than it is if you have to manually download it, put it somewhere, and 'makepkg' on it.
- jolmg 8y agoI think you misread. Pressing 'enter' opens up the editor to review the files. To ignore them, you'd have to answer [n]o.
- craftyguy 8y agoAh, in that case, most I've come across do not default to 'edit', but rather to accept. Notice that many default to automatic building: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_helpers#Active https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_helpers#Active
- jolmg 8y agoHuh. Thanks for the link; I hadn't realized that pacaur was announced unmaintained last December. I'll have to look for a replacement.
- imtringued 8y agoaurman is the best replacement
- bscphil 8y agoThe developer of pacaur now works on auracle.
- Foxboron 8y agoFalconindy is not the developer of pacaur.
