I just wanted to let AUR helper authors (or other AUR enthusiasts) know that the PKGBUILD URL has changed on the AUR. All AUR helpers should update your code. I knew the AUR was updated recently but I did not realize that the URLs were changed for PKGBUILDs until I looked carefully at the AUR and the new patches. I found out earlier today and wanted to help others who might wonder why their AUR software slowly starts to break.
The old scheme was: /packages/<name>/<name>/PKGBUILD The new scheme is: /packages/<name>/PKGBUILD
Fun facts: Packages that were uploaded before the change still have an extracted package directory (/packages/<name>/<name>). The old packages also have a copy of their PKGBUILD in the new location.This means they have a PKGBUILD in both locations. Once a package is uploaded the old package directory is deleted so only one PKGBUILD remains (/packages/<name>/PKBUILD). So all packages uploaded after the change use the new PKGBUILD URLs.
Those leftover files from the old extraction scheme should be gone now.
