Yeah, I was looking at calling wget or curl to download PKGBUILDs locally for processing, which would achieve the same thing, except in a more nasty way. My only qualm with the git mirror is that it keeps deleted packages, no? On 06/01/2015, Florian Bruhin <me@the-compiler.org> wrote:

Hi all, I've been looking at writing a small bot which will crawl over orphaned packages' PKGBUILDs, performing analysis and gathering stats.
If you just need the PKGBUILDs and update history, the AUR git mirror[1] might be interesting for you so you can get that data locally.
