Not sure what 'pertner' is supposed to mean, but I'd say sure, we could offer a database dump. It's just that someone would have to check which information people need and write a patch for that. It's probably fine to dump all the info that you'd normally get from and RPC search request into a file. A really quick calculation tells me that this file would be around 20-30MiB (RPC search for 'perl', ~900KiB response with nearly 2k packages, 900*25 = 23MiB). If someone wants to work on a patch for that, please feel free. If you want, I can also provide some feedback on the patch in addition to what you get on aur-dev. Also please talk to Lukas to check if he is ok with the general idea of this before you spend too much time on it. Florian
