As far as I know, there is no (official) documentation of this field. Only its name which indicates that the field contains a URL. It does not imply that the URL is relative, though.
However, shouldn't it be sufficient to just change the default value and use relative URIs (with absolute paths) on the package details pages as well?
I agree. I'll correct this if the patch is relevant at all. [...]
Yeah, I don't see any disadvantage in dropping the domain name from the default value. If it fixes some AUR helpers, let's do that. Regards, Lukas
