It is nearly impossible. The CLI wrapper makes it much nicer. I always use the web interface to get packages from ARM. No wrapper. The unique CLI tool I used was pacman to rollback a whole system.
The ARM server latency is pretty good where pkgbuild.com is a nightmare. $ time wget -qO/dev/null https://seblu.net/a/arm/2014 wget -qO/dev/null https://seblu.net/a/arm/2014 0,02s user 0,00s system 33% cpu 0,063 tot $ time wget -qO/dev/null http://pkgbuild.com/git/aur-mirror.git/tree/?id=0b2c85b0b252c9bab30df2c411d5... wget -qO/dev/null 0,17s user 0,74s system 18% cpu 4,970 total
The aur.git backup has no such convenient wrapper. Yes, it is painful to use. About as painful as trying to navigate the Rollback Machine with a web browser.
I'm not speaking of beauty, but speed and latency of answers.
Write a front end instead of this vague, nebulous proposal. I did not wish hurt you in any manner. Your aur-mirror.git is a good initiative. Please don't take it personally.
Just to clarify the Arch Linux ARM thing. No one asked to incorporate ALARM into the Rollback Machine. Someone did ask for assistance with setting up their own Rollback Machine. And this guy was not "from ArchARM", he was an ALARM mirror host. Sorry if that was not clear in my first mail.
