Sounds good to add a method to change keywords without using a web browser. > 1.

I strongly prefer 1. 2 causes too much clutter in the source tree and I don't like having AUR-specific files around, especially not if it's (only) for keywords. That would be another file we have to parse (if it's not as simple as lines with keywords or a line with keywords separated by spaces). And what if we invent another AUR-specific option? Another file? Change the syntax of the keywords file? In case of 1, a command like `get-keywords` would also be necessary, so one can see what the current keywords are. Best, Marcel
