Lukas Fleischer d273ee5eb2 Use the official provider list to detect duplicates
Instead of automatically adding packages from the official binary
repositories to the package blacklist, use the official provider list to
prevent users from uploading duplicates.

This does not only result in reduced disk usage but also has a nice
visible side effect. The error messages printed by the update hook now
look like

    error: package already provided by [community]: powerline-fonts

instead of

    error: package is blacklisted: powerline-fonts

which was confusing to most end users.

aurweb
======

aurweb is a framework for hosting the Arch User Repository (AUR), a collection
of packaging scripts that are created and submitted by the Arch Linux
community. The scripts contained in the repository (PKGBUILDs) can be built
using makepkg and installed via the Arch Linux package manager pacman. The
aurweb 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* Mark packages as out-of-date.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.
