Local files default to Optional, Remote files to Required, so if you use

Why do you need donations for a 300GB HDD? You can rebuild a system using a
700 MB CD-ROM (but a flashdrive is preferable for speed, of course).
The Arch installer is not 300 GB.
Any data that needs migration can be moved to a staging folder. It doesn't
need its own hard drive.

As Ralf said, nothing *requires* yaourt, and indeed some things will blow

fine, and indeed so do most AUR wrappers, in the AUR Helpers comparison

purpose. :)

You can simply apply that to all *.py files, or if some of them
