I have been [fooling around][1] with an aur-rpc reimplementation in ruby+redis with sphinx as the search engine.

Loui [mentioned][2] he had been thinking about providing a dump of the existing database or something, to users who are interested in developing features and/or replacements.

If so, and assuming the dump is sanitized in some way (remove real user email addresses, etc), I would certainly be interested. It would be nice to get some real data to play with.

Is there any more information currently available on this?

Nothing has been set up yet, it's just something I had been thinking about. I think it could encourage more development. Yeah we would definitely have to sanitize the data. Providing the source packages via rsync or something would be the first step. I'm not too sure about MySQL data yet though.

Thanks.

Thanks for your continued interest Eliott!

I see. Well if anything ever does develop in that regard, please send a copy my way! :)

Indeed!
