Hey! I'm currently writing a GUI-Frontend for AUR integrated into Shaman (Qt-Alpm- Frontend)... Some people already pointed me to: http://aur.archlinux.org/rpc.php which seems to be quite cool in combination with QtJson...
So now as far as I can see the only thing missing is a method to get the names of _all_ Packages... I tried to parse the Apache output of aur.archlinux.org/packages/ but that might not be a good idea, since the layout can change...
So, I would like to ask if there is any method to get all package names or if that is planned?

Try this:
tar -tf $repo.db.tar.gz
you will find all you wanted.
In fact, I have written a perl scripts to do those works and download packages that dose not in my local disk( I sync with a source who can't provide rsync. )
Well is there a database-file for aur? Lukas
