Description:
AUR exists in order to fulfil the needs of lots of Arch users to use software that is not in the binary repositories. It is a great system to share PKGBUILDs and to help other people. There is a link on the Arch website and a nice disclaimer on the AUR site about the fact that builds are unsupported and so on. However, there is no tool in the binary repositories to get packages from AUR. I think at least one of them should be included to make it quick and easy to get AUR stuff on a new installation, with the necessary warnings (red flashing if you like :) ). Afterwards, people can choose if they stick with it (e.g. aurbuild) or use the easier but probably more dangerous yaourt.

This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't implement
Additional comments about closing:  It was discussed a couple of times in past.
I don't think it will be ever implemented in a forseable future, sorry.
