Yay! Does this also mean we'll be extending the replies from the RPC API? > This is my idea of how split packages should be displayed: > > * One page per built package.

What about having detail pages for the pkgbase? Maybe use a new route like /pkgbase/foobase. It could display all the comments, maintainership info, actions, and also have direct links to the corresponding output packages. This would make it easier to refer to packages as a whole. I'm particularly thinking about posting on aur-general for help with merge/delete/orphan requests. Package detail pages could then link back to their pkgbase page.
