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* Mark packages as out-of-date.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
----------------

po::
	Translation files for strings in the AUR web interface.

scripts::
	aurblup package blacklist tool. Scripts for AUR maintenance.

support::
	Schema for SQL database. Script for dummy data generation.
