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
The URL for tarballs is /packages/$name/$name.tar.gz and I don't think this has ever changed in the past months I don't think anyone is downloading mere PKGBUILDs and doing anything useful with that: PKGBUILDs are useless without their associated files. -- Rémy.
