[aur-dev] [PATCH] Updated README for local AUR installation
by Thayer Williams 17 Mar '10

17 Mar '10

I've updated the web/README to make the instructions a bit clearer on setting up a test environment of the AUR. Also, I plan to submit several patches for HTML/template updates over the next couple of weeks so please let me know if this patch format is not correct.

[aur-dev] [PATCH] Make whitespace significant in comments. Fixes FS#14391.

Originally reported the bug [1] a while ago, but butted heads into it again recently [2]. Here's my rather small patch to fix the issue. Note that this would cause the column to stretch out to fit its contents, possibly breaking layout. However, I felt that to be an adequate compromise given the goal of altering comments as little as possible.
