Please see these packages, it contains a builded packages, binaries and some sources.
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14252 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=20933 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=4011 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17880 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=8064 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=199 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=5338 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14866 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=199
...and there are many more.
I am preparing another list, but much more extensive. But first I have a question: in unsupported the packages.tar.gz may contain "tarballs" of the sources?, because I see that there are several that have this? (some are a mistake of the user that uploaded that and in array of source download of the homepage) In the AUR Guidelines there is no reference to this.

Hello, findwild was mine, I did a fresh upload, that fixed it. I deleted micq (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7928) because last update was 2006 and the maintainer did not respond to the comments of several users (program was renamed to climm). For the other packages I left a comment. The AUR comment page looks strange. Where I expect the comment button, there is the word "poop". http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=20933 is okay, there are only small files uploaded. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14252 is okay, too. Thank you for notification. Regards Stefan
