1 - How does one get this "restored" to the AUR (unsupported) as opposed to merely re-tagging it into the community repo ? I ask this because I am NOT sure how things are either done *OR* laid out. (As far as I can determine, from this location, things are not stored the same. More importantly since I cannot get to this package from the AUR web interface it is not clear to me how a restore other than starting over is to take place.)
Community and the AUR are two separate entities, which happen to work together. One would assume it's fairly trivial to checkout a directory from CVS, and create a tarball from it to upload to the AUR exactly as one would submit a package normally. It is impossible to "restore" it because it was completely removed from the AUR when you moved it to the community repo.
2 - Will a procedure you provide me restore the 250 some odd votes this package received ?
Not possible. As I said, the votes were lost when the package was removed from the AUR by the simple fact of it moving to community.
