(Due to my poor English, the subject may not be easy to understand. I'll
explain it below.)

Hello AUR users,

First I'm glad to see that AUR now switches to a git-based package system.
I'm always interested in what are changed for an AUR package. Before AUR4,
such an information is generally not available unless the submitter leaves
a comment.

Now I'd like to talk about my scenario. Before AUR4, I maintain a single
git repo for all packages. I need to re-upload all my packages now. There
are several handy utilities listed at the AUR wiki [1]. Among them,
"import-to-aur4" seems suitable for those who use git repos before AUR4.
However, import-to-aur4.sh does not meet my need:

1. It's designed for aur-dev rather than aur4. The workflow is slightly
different.
2. Looks like it's a one-time script rather than for long-term use. (See
the example usage below)

Is there an existing tool that can read individual packages from a single
repo and push it to AUR4? A use case can be:

$ vim python-foobar/PKGBUILD
$ git commit -a -m "python-foobar: Update to version x.y.z"
$ ./push-package-to-aur4.sh python-foobar

push-package-to-aur4.sh reads from local repo, creates the repo remotely if
necessary and pushes PKGBUILD, .SRCINFO, and other source files.

Hope my descriptions are clear enough :)

Best regards,

Yen Chi Hsuan
