Re: [aur-general] aur client

Command renamed from "aur" to "box", for preventing conflicts with "aur.1" at aurutils. Box is meant to be a short form for "package definition". So a command like "box get" is natural and short. Also the package has been renamed from "aur-publisher-git" to "aur-box

Re: [aur-general] aur client

The package name is now "aur-publisher-git ". Alberto

Re: [aur-general] aur client

Would it be good enough for you if I renamed it from "aur" to "aur-client"? So at least it won't sound like the AUR itself? Alberto

Lukas Fleischer: Another one is that we'd prefer you to not use a name that sounds very official for a very unofficial project. That sounds reasonable in theory, but in practice it does nothing. The software does its work nicely, and there's no official alternative that does such thing. Plus

Re: [aur-general] aur client

Or I could have named it "aur-client". It's just I saw the shortest version "aur" more practical for typing in the terminal, and having the package named after the command more insightful. Alberto

Since publishing to the AUR is something that all packagers do quite frequently, I have developed a software that reduces the related operations to the bare minimum, making publishing to the AUR instant. Basically it's a SMED system. The software
