Arch User Repository (AUR)
===================

About:
=====
The Arch User Repository (AUR) is a framework for hosting a collection of
packaging scripts that are created and submitted by the Arch community. The
scripts contained in the repository (PKGBUILDS) can be built using the Arch
building/packaging script (makepkg) and installed via the Arch pacman manager
(pacman). The AUR project aims to provide the necessary web interface, database
schema, and scripts for a multi-lingual community-driven repository.
