What about a simple code to retreive a backup of the SQL tables containing packages informations ? That would do like mirroring the AUR website (without user informations), a little bit like it is for the other repositories. Or let's make things in large, set up a Pacman User Repositories (PUR(e?)) that merges the efforts of some distributions using pacman (that's a little utopist, I think). 2009/3/3 Sebastian Nowicki <sebnow@gmail.com>:

Hi!
I'm working on a new Arch-based distro, and I'd like to know if it's possible to embed AUR into another webpage, so that users of our distro have access to the same packages as Arch users do without having to show directly this website... this would be cool because all of our users would be somehow contributing directly to Arch without doubling efforts...
That's not exactly a nice way of doing it. It would be possible by using an API, but this would only retrieve data from the AUR website, and would probably be quite slow. Another (ugly) possibility is simply using iframes.
