This is a fundamental mis-understanding of both the purpose of the AUR and the purpose of source control: * The AUR absolutely should not be used to host binary files. Only source files should be hosted. This is documented on the wiki on the obvious page. [1] Hosting only sources has several advantages, most notably in the form of improving security: users can read the source of packages being compiled. * As a general rule, git/bzr/hg/etc repositories should only contain source code. This rule isn't specific to the AUR. It's a general software engineering principle. As a community member: this application *worries* me. [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository
