I know, it's a pain in the ass to implement. But I think it would be beneficial to be able to see what a package used to be, even after someone has updated/overwriten it.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Deferred
Additional comments about closing:  We might address this later by adding the ability to have multiple versions of a package in Unsupported.

Many have given feedback that this sort of totally versioned environment would make AUR too heavyweight and they'd be disinclined to use it.

At the same time, uploading multiple versions of a package in Unsupported doesn't seem like a horrible thing, with voting on the particular version, as someone else pointed out.

Once things leave Unsupported and go into AUR, they are versioned via CVS.

Pending feedback from you, I'm inclined to close this bug at this point.. or we should have a longer discussion about why you think this is a necessary feature and how it could be done elegantly without being too much work and complexity for people using the system.

I didn't think of that.
This request can be closed, I just thought I'd toss the idea out there.

In addition, people like myself who might want the comfort of version control can continue to run our own versioned systems and just throw HEAD version into the AUR.
