Hey I wrote a script this morning to facilitate the building and installation of PKGBUILDs from the AUR. I know there are other scripts to do this, but in my experience they have been unreliable, and break when the AUR is updated.
My script should avoid that, as it doesn't ever actually read the contents of a page of the AUR. It's also a fair bit simpler in its workings, using only really basic bash. Script: http://iphitus.loudas.com/scripts.php Explanation of how it works: http://iphitus.blogspot.com/2005/10/aur-scraping-script.html Judd: What are the chances of including a script such as this with pacman? Add a few warnings to say that packages may be unsafe, and it should be fine. What do you think?
