Re: [aur-dev] Can I please get a dump of the pkgbuilds in AUR?
I don't understand what you will be able to do for pacman with AUR. ABS isn't a best place to check PKGBUILD ?

[1] My only answer will be that the descriptions in AUR are pretty bad and the search is almost useless if you don't know the name of a pkg you want to search for. I recommend helping improve the AUR's search functionality then. I cannot see any practical reason for you to have all the files in the AUR. Do you want to do some kind of analysis or something? It would be nice if you could share your intentions if you expect to receive data in your preferred format. Otherwise all the files are freely accessible via other methods. That said, I still need a really compelling reason to do this. It would probably be better to explore other ways to solve your problem.

I know this has come up before with issues about scraping the files in AUR but this is a different question. Is it possible to get a dump of all the files in AUR, don't ask for what reason I need them[1]. Tangent: Would it be possible to either a) add an rsync interface to the AUR b) dump the AUR daily|weekly|monthly and add the archive to the mirrors ? Such requests may be rare at the moment but if the files were more readily accessible (programmatically) then it might lead to some interesting uses. I can think of several myself. Regards, Xyne
