Seems the RPC node does not support such a field. Does that mean hardcoded paths are the only option? For example "ssh+git://aur@aur4.archlinux.org/%s.git/".
Lukas was against adding a field for it, so yes.
I don't understand the purpose of this field. It contains no information. You already know the package name, the aur URL and the fact, that they all end with .git. Is this just in case the AUR starts working differently over night?
I'm trying to implement https://github.com/archlinuxfr/package-query/issues/11 and https://github.com/archlinuxfr/yaourt/issues/129. In package-query, the tarball URL is from the RPC JSON result, and fallback to the hardcoded one if such an information is not provided by the remote end. I hope to use the same approach to add a field in package-query without loss of consistence in code base, so I'm requesting adding a field in upstream. Using hardcoded paths works just fine, but less elegant in my opinion. Regards, Yen Chi Hsuan
