aurweb - Arch User Repository


Description
-----------

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) con 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 PKGBUILDs by pushing a git repository containing the
  PKGBUILD and a .SRCINFO file to the AUR.
* 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 pages.
* Users can mark packages as out-of-date.
* Vote for well-done and popular user submitted packages.
* Trusted Users and Developers can search for and modify accounts.
* Area for Trusted Users to post AUR-related proposals and vote on them.
