Why do you not already have local clones? It seems a bit... inefficient... to re-clone a repository under someone else's control every time you want to update something. So, why should AUR packages be different from any other form of source code? ... If you want a good example of a way to manage multiple AUR packages, this is what I do (uses git subtrees): https://github.com/eli-schwartz/pkgbuilds/tree/base It has the advantage of preventing common maintainer mistakes (forgetting to update .SRCINFO/updpkgsums, autofilling default commit messages, handling remotes on-the-fly for new packages, etc.) Basically, additional reasons for being ordered about this sort of thing, in case you weren't convinced already. :) -- Eli Schwartz
