[aur-general] Watch list
Can AUR have something like a watch list. It would be useful. I find that at times I forget that I flagged a package out of date. After a long time, I finally remember it and then go and check it out again. Instead, if we had something like "My watchlist", I would know which packages I am watching/monitoring for activity/inactivity --- Ashok `ScriptDevil` Gautham

You could write a script to parse the output from http://aur.archlinux.org/rpc.php?type=search&arg=<pkg> That includes whether <pkg> is outdated, the number of votes, version number, etc. If you want comments then I think you need to scrape the web page. If you just want to know when a new version of an AUR package is out, you could use paconky. Xyne

The code for seeing comments is there in yaourt. -- Abhishek

I think I am not clear. Well. I meant some link on the site. Something like My Packages. Once I log in, I should have a list of packages I am watching over. Something like http://wiki.answers.com/help/my_pages#My Watchlist --- Ashok `ScriptDevil` Gautham
