I'll add "AUR3" to the mix... - https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=99839
i haven't made any release or update to BBS (or README :-) in some time, but a fair amount of work + thought has gone into this. if you'd like, check out the 'pmvc-refactor' branch here: https://github.com/extofme/aur-pyjs/tree/pmvc-refactor it will be the path forward, and is based on the lightweight puremvc framework to add a little sanity. i encourage you to take a look, as the code is remarkably small, fast, free of any HTML/compatibility nuances, but still leverages the full power of the most advanced GUI available... a web browser, an excellent language... python, and a competent widget library based on GWT. it's a fully client side javascript (or python-DOM) application requiring nothing from the server (or a local daemon...) other than JSON-RPC endpoints, which can be implemented in any language. the entire GUI is reusable in desktop mode (python bindings to DOM). everything is hot pluggable at runtime, right down to the core and shell. users will in time be able to make any layout change they wish. the slight stagnation on this project is only due to me working on pyjamas itself to support runtime hot-loading of python modules via AJAX... ie. variable/conditional imports... to enable dependency injection (of AUR modules), [more] efficient bootstrap and runtime, and other dynamicisms. currently, local PKGBUILD database expected to be dulwich/git based, to easily support forking/etc of PKGBUILDs, but im also considering couchdb (the couchdb python API could be ported to pyjs... then i could make parallel databases calls via iframe proxies DIRECTLY from the browser!!). the ultimate idea is a distributed AUR. im not in a hurry to complete it, as i have some far reaching goals, but it is very much active and open for input. in short, this message is a shameless self-promotion, but i believe the approach holds more potential than existing solutions, simpler extensibility, and a lower barrier of entry to non web/HTML/CSS/Javascript/.../.../... (have you ever wrote a good webapp before? sheesh...) developers. C Anthony
