Lukas Fleischer 7a5bfd83c4 Increase the size of several database fields
Several fields turned out to be too small (e.g. when long package
versions are used in VCS packages). Since the type of all affected
fields is VARCHAR, there is no reason to keep them as small as possible.

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

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 AUR
building/packaging script `mkaurball` and installed via the Arch package
manager `pacman`. The AUR project aims to provide the necessary web interface,
database schema, and scripts for a multi-lingual community-driven repository.

Functionality
-------------

* Users may submit source packages that contain a PKGBUILD.
* User accounts with varying permission levels (User, Trusted User, Developer).
* Ability to search for specific submitted packages.
* Display package information by parsing meta-data provided with the packages.
* Users can make comments on package information page.
* Mark packages as out-of-date.
* Vote for well-done and popular user submitted packages.
* Trusted User and Developer can search for and modify accounts.
* Area for Trusted Users to post AUR-related proposals and vote on them.

Directory Layout
----------------

	Translation files for strings in the AUR web interface.
