Maybe I'm missing something but wouldn't it be better if you did the
backend first and then worked on the client. Otherwise you need to
rewrite everything in the client and it's just wasted work. Also why
are you using the pacman code as a base for the client? I'd rather
pacman handled the packages rather than a separate maintained tool.

We started to redesign PKGINFO related things:

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:
