I'd like to request one of my packages (sumount) be deleted. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=28935 Reasons being that it does not work consistently, and I've learnd of a lighter app (hd-idle) that does a much better job. Had I done more thorough research, I could have avoided writing

[aur-general] new aur mirror

Hi all. I am now mirroring the AUR continuously, and am starting to open it up to public access. It is not a perfect byte-for-byte clone, as I felt like adding a few features :-) For now, there is an enhanced RPC database. It's got everything from the original RPC calls, plus some extra fields

R.Daneel approves of these ideas! Some needed patches to my scraper (where did LocationID go?) but overall I'm very happy to see these changes. There are many ways to safely inspect tarballs, even to get around the zip bomb. I won't claim this is perfect, but it works for Aur3 and me. Listing
