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?
