[aur-general] Method to get all Packages
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? Lukas

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

The only method is via the web interface. There aren't any plans to make that possible via the json interface. If you're interested in implementing that please send ideas/patches to aur-dev@archlinux.org

Nope. That's an interesting idea though.

If you're interested in implementing that please send ideas/patches to aur-dev@archlinux.org Ok, any suggestions where in code to implement it? (I honestly have no clue about web-development at all :/)... Actually I read some code here and now I'm lost with: http://projects.archlinux.org/?p=aur.git;a=blob;f=web/lib/aurjson.class.php;...

Nope. That's an interesting idea though. Actually since I didn't get any further, is there probably a way to publish

Of course there's a way. You really should be accessing the AUR via the web or json interface though. That dir listing doesn't actually reflect the status of the AUR. Old scripts are only occaisionally removed from that. That may change soon though.

I have no clue if it works (or if everything is alright) though, never worked with Sql-Queries :(
