I think AUR2 would be just a temporary solution for our final purposes. I

to see a more robust, and efficient impelementation of it, not a web
based
application.
We started to redesign PKGINFO related things:

You can see here the state of it here:

Here is the mailing list:

I don't think I follow. Is this a client to the current AUR or some
sort of server for clients?

It will be a client at this momment for current AUR, but we plan to
implement a full backend,api,front for the AUR and package management. It's
not a small work for me/us, so be patient, but as I guess the AUR web
application/server/backend can be changed for a command line tool, because I
like it as I like AUR installer, vim and other command line application.
I tried/try to be close to the pacman source codebase, if someone would
like to contribute and know the source of pacman, he/she can do it easier,
but I'm not a good programmer like Xavier and Dan now :P
Btw, any opinion/suggestion would be nice or this:

I think this is a great thing and once we're able to build this backend
and api, I would love to see another webapp be put up. I would
definitely enjoy being able to use the command-line and a webapp to
manage AUR packages (both as a user and maintainer). I'm not too
familiar with the pacman code, but I'll help out where I can. I've also
joined the aurman mailing list. I saw the aurman stub in the Wiki.
Perhaps we should point to that from the AUR2 page? I can maintain the
Wiki if need be.
