Is it the aur-mirror.git [4] or something else? We were thinking to replace the currently broken links to AUR packages on the wiki with links to the archive to divide the heap of broken links into "obsolete" and "obsolete, but still findable" parts. For this to work, we need a fixed URL with variable part corresponding to the package name. And for easy maintenance with a bot, we would need a list of packages in the archive for fast searching, e.g. something like [5]. Is this possible or do you have some other recommendations?After all, I am not sure whether we should create an official archive hosted on aur.archlinux.org or just refer to an "inofficial" archive like aur-mirror.git. As Doug already mentioned, I am currently on vacation. I will have to think of that (and possibly implement an archive) when I am back home. Meanwhile, other opinions are welcome. If you plan to redirect broken Arch Wiki links to the archive, please make sure that it is obvious that these packages are abandoned. They are likely to break or be out-of-date for months.
Could maybe make the tarballs available under sources.archlinux.org for maybe a month or two I guess, or something like aur.archlinux.org/archives.
