Thoughts? I was under the impression we didn't do this, and definitely on purpose, otherwise people have *no* idea the AUR is different in a lot of ways. Making people go the "hard way" to get a helper installed at least presents some (necessary) barrier.
This should have been posted to aur-general, where TUs can reply. Personally, I don't feel strong either way. As it was explained to me on IRC, cower doesn't include any building or installation functionality, it only searches for packages, downloads them, and can also check for updates to installed, unsupported, packages.
