I wrote a little AUR helper in C++, though currently it only downloads the tarball if the package name is valid. I am new to C++ and wanted to know if you thought the code was good. I was thinking about putting it in AUR, but figured I would asked for opinion first. Here is the url for the code: http://pastebin.com/aSW1awD4
Looks promising. Hopefully the C++ will give the helper a speed boost. :-)
But, err... https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewforum.php?id=27
After I get an idea how to do a search function, I would add it to the program. Though I am of course very new to C++ since it is my first language to try and learn.
Thanks for the kind reply to it.
Hey, looks like a great start to c++ :) One thing to look into though is to see if you can interface with the aur rpc interface. This would be a nice "next step" towards a proper aur helper imo.
