Oh, wait! Is AUR accessible via git? That would be really great!
From the wiki: Git Repo
A Git Repo of the AUR is maintained by Thomas Dziedzic providing package history among other things. It is updated at least once a day. To clone the repository (several hundred MB):
$ git clone git://pkgbuild.com/aur-mirror.git
Nice!
Though I would prefer a rsync interface. I do not need package history and would like to save the disk space...
There is also aur3[1]. It offers metadata (things you see on the package pages of AUR website) in additional to PKGBUILDs. It doesn't provide rsync access, but I found 18MB (PKGBUILD + metadata, it's compressed) is acceptable. aur3 also has a really neat JSON API, offering full regex searching. 1. http://aur3.org/ -- Regards, Cheer Xiao
