The database I mean, is this one: http://www.archlinux.org/packages/ And such a database doesn't exist for community. So AUR is the only way to find infos about community packages, to contact a maintainer, and to flag a package out-of-date. > > So AUR is the only possible place, where to flag a community > > package as out-of-date, where to file bug reports for a community > > package or where to contact the package maintainer for other > > purposes regarding such a package. > > Bugs for [community] packages should be reported in the Community > Packages section of the Arch Linux bugtracker and *not* in comments. When adding a new task to Flyspray, I only see these repos in the "Category" field: Packages: Extra Packages: Core Packages: Testing But there's no Packages: Community So the only way for filing bug reports for community packages is AUR.
