I received the auto-email, could that e-mail also display the short description of each new coming package? That will save our time to watch each package. Thanks.

Hmmmm, what do others think of this? It wouldn't be terribly difficult to do.

So something like:

-----

Package-version
URL
description (stolen from pkgdesc)

Package-version
URL
description

-----

I just repeated it a couple times to see what it'd look like... sure let's do it.

EDIT: hmmm flyspray isn't showing it but the URL and description lines are indented a bit to make it clear what pkg they're part of.

That email format looks good to me - I wouldn't mind a small description as well.

I'd love to have this too. Email notifications are pretty useless if you don't know what the packages do..

We all know that's easy to implement.
So, why provide such description?
Currently, there are thouands software. I don't believe there are any one could just read the package name, and understand it is useful for him. And, the AUR e-mail won't let others also join the AUR to enhance the new package.
PLEASE, add such function. thanks.

What's the status on this? I was sure a patch had been made and applied but I can't see it anywhere in the shortlog. I'll take a look later at the actual file.
