There are two packages refering to "Django Command Extensions"[1] in AUR: "django-extensions"[2] and "django-command-extensions"[3]. I think "django-command-extensions" is more accurate.

[1] http://code.google.com/p/django-command-extensions/ [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26813 [3] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30353

I'm not so sure.

For one, django-extensions is older and better known. For another, the site you linked talks about other extensions than Command ones (Database Model Field, Database Model, Admin). Are only the Command ones installed by the AUR packages?

Thanks for bringing it to some attention whatever the choice, I/we hate dups :)

If you check PKGBUILDs, you'll notice that they are exactly that same extensions - that same "url" und "source". Just django-extensions' PKGBUILD is better and more complex, but django-command-extensions' name is more accurate in compare to homesite. In that situations some kind of redirects would be useful - one pkgname could be just alias for second and users wouldn't have problems.
