[...]if they can be parsed by pacman somehow, they would add some use. Otherwise, I'm ok with deleting them.

So the only way to allow it to see such data would be to add it to the PKGBUILD or other metadata (which does not make sense, as the official repositories have no categories either). Anyways, there are quite a few AUR helpers available, so you could use them with a bit of shell scripting or use the RPC interface directly. To display categories for your installed AUR packages: $ cower --info --format="%c/%n" $(pacman -Qqem) | sort You may add a '| grep games' to filter for specific category or tell cower to sort by install date or something instead of using 'sort' of course. best regards, carstene1ns
