    That’s quite the project you took upon yourself. As I’ve said before I wish you luck with your endeavors and hope you won’t fall into production dark pit.

      Thanks. I’m still not completely serious about it, but I’ve given some thought to how the project would be laid out. I have some code, but not that much, under a few thousand loc. I wonder if it would be accepted into the extra repository. In Arch, the AUR is completely unofficial. The wiki documents many things related to it, but otherwise, the tooling kind of pretends that it doesn’t exist & it’s completely “unsupported” officially. The rules of the extra repository specify that pacman wrappers aren’t allowed, but doesn’t mention the AUR, IIRC. This wouldn’t be a wrapper, but would support the AUR. I wonder how it would be handled, or would AUR support be patched out?

        I can’t tell. I don’t exactly remember the policy but if you decide to take it more seriously and even if they wouldn’t support you 100% I belive that you could find compromise through discussion.
