+1 but I think distributed is not necessary at all, but keeping the revisions of a PKGBUILD or the rest of the files will be nice. > 2.

An official client -1 No, but if point 1 is accomplished you will do your own client for handle it :) > 5. LDAP support because LDAP makes everything so much better 0 LDAP support just for AUR? I thought in LDAP to manage all our systems (forums, bbs, wiki, dev/tu backends) -but this requires soo manpower-, so I'd like to implement this, but not just for AUR .. and it will be good if these ideas goes to AUR2, because having LDAP + a VCS system will make a little bit painful the migration process, from the actual aur to the new aur. -- Angel Velásquez angvp @ irc.freenode.net Arch Linux Developer / Trusted User Linux Counter: #359909 http://www.angvp.com
