2 Arch User Repository (AUR)
7 The Arch User Repository (AUR) is a framework for hosting a collection of
8 packaging scripts that are created and submitted by the Arch community. The
9 scripts contained in the repository (PKGBUILDS) can be built using the Arch
10 building/packaging script (makepkg) and installed via the Arch pacman manager
11 (pacman). The AUR project aims to provide the necessary web interface, database
12 schema, and scripts for a multi-lingual community-driven repository.
