[aur-dev] Regexp Support for AUR package search; wouldn't it be nice?
by lolilolicon 28 Mar '10

28 Mar '10

Hi, I did a `grep -R LIKE aur-1.6.0` and it seems to me that changing four of those LIKE's to RLIKE would add Regexp support for package search. Currently, the only "regexp" supported by AUR are % and _. I think AUR should really somehow grow some support for real regular expressions. I'm not aware of any issue this may introduce, except for a little bit heavier on resources; adding a timeout on queries should avoid shitty regexp queries as well. I'm sorry I have zero experience in PHP, or I would have done a patch for this.

[aur-dev] Support Chinese or other UTF-8 for AUR
by 甘露(Gan Lu) 26 Mar '10

26 Mar '10

AUR doesn't support any other than western language for commenting. When you wanna leave some info in comment, your only choice is English, otherwise you get all garbages display, but sometimes you do need to write some native saying Chinese info for reference. Please consider to fix this bug, thanks a lot.

[aur-dev] [PATCH] add link to account profile in out-of-date notification
by Andrea Scarpino 10 Mar '10

Reading at FS#9582, could be useful to add a link to account information page of the user who has flagged your package as out-of-date. Without using HTML in the code, this patch adds that link to the bottom of the mail body. -- Andrea
