What AUR2?
Here I agree with Loui: it doesn't make sense to separate the AUR and the [community] backend, they are tightly coupled and so they should be. The risk is to break things if two groups move independently. And I'm not really sure we could reuse some code, but writing an SCM abstraction layer that makes us independent from CVS and SVN could be userful for the main repos, too. I don't think it's a stupid idea because we just need the basic operations that every SCM provides...
Also if we're talking about AUR2 I think the plan is definitely to separate them, but when that happens there won't be two sets of queries but rather abstracted. -- Callan Barrett
