Is there a convenient way to remove notifications from the around 2000 packages that I currently receive notifications on?

Sort by 'Notify', check them all, uncheck the few you still want to be notified about and pick 'Unnotify' from the actions menu.

That would work beautifully _if_ there was a way to select all packages shown on a page with one press of the mouse button. AFAIKS I'd have to select each of the 2000 packages individually, hardly "convenient" I'd say ;) /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus I invented the term Object-Oriented, and I can tell you I did not have C++ in mind. -- Alan Kay

Have your kid brother / sister do it ;P Oh c'mon, it's just 8 pages (250 packages each). Play some music and an hour later you'll be through.

You can also check all checkboxes using JavaScript and firebug or bult-in chrome tools. You have to modify DOM elements with JavaScript in Console tab of mentioned tools

patches welcome for a "select all" feature :) Just submitted one to aur-dev. Not sure if it'll be accepted though :)

The easiest way seems to put in an email address that doesn't work, but that doesn't feel very nice.

Do you have a list of the AURIDs? If so, you could write a script to do it. Take a look at the POST form attached to the "unnotify" button.

If you don't have the IDs then you can scrape the search pages for them.

or: http://aur.archlinux.org/rpc.php?type=msearch&arg=[subject name here]

I thought about that too, but I think he already orphaned the packages. The msearch may work with "orphan" or "nobody", but there may be too many results for the interface to handle.

Indeed, the packages are already orphaned. So the packages in question are all packages in AUR that the user 'arch-haskell' has marked 'notify'. /M -- Magnus Therning                      OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org   jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe               http://therning.org/magnus
