I'd almost say I'd like to see something like a Launchpad or Sourceforge for the AUR, with everything you need available via a more-or-less homogenous interface. But all features should be accessible via the command line as the core interface. It seems like everything out there is web based which bugs me for some reason.
+1 I feel the same for some reason. This I can say is worth dabbling into. On 18 November 2010 10:45, Kaiting Chen <kaitocracy@gmail.com> wrote:
I meant that you can do a 'svn update' or 'cvs update' to merge changes from the server into your working dir.
But you cannot commit to your local repository. Nor can you branch, tag, etc. Basically you can't do anything useful with a traditional VCS in a decentralized structure like the AUR. --Kaiting.
There are branches and tags in Subversion, though a little different (being it's all centralised). You can do everything useful if you put aside the concept of a local repository. But I guess that very same concept is what makes a decentralised VCS pretty versatile.
