It is unlikely that we will add .AURINFO metadata to each package, since it would require rebuilding all source tarballs in the AUR.

Looking at the AUR statistics, however, it should not take too long until the most (working and maintained) packages are supplemented with metadata. > Regards, > R. > Regards, Lukas
