I should like to chime in that I looked at the arch.codiert.org site, and it is a very nice system! In an open source community as alive as this one, it's going to happen that there's some duplication.. and it's not a bad thing, as the market teaches us; more options for the consumer is good. I hope eventually that we can all contribute to the same system, and have all the PKGBUILDs in one place. That's why I joined the AUR team.

I hope we will observe the features of the two systems and be able to see what is good and bad in each, and improve them both. Already there are many suggestions for improvements to the AUR and it isn't even released yet! I see this as a good thing -- more suggestions leads to more ideas which leads to a better product.

As the guy responsible for launching the AUR, I have to say, there has been more than a little deserved scolding for its being later than expected, but there are a lot of things to get right, and we want to get them right. The most important thing is that AUR be secure and useable on launch day. Then we'll polish and add features in some later releases.

The AUR has been recently coded and beta tested (uh...read the arch

PS: you're even mentioned in that newsletter, Mr. Krill, and as I read
the aforementioned thread of messages, you were even told that the AUR
would be on line shortly. I find it hard to believe that you could miss
both the newsletter, and being blatantly told about it.
