Thanks for fixing the isuses and also a big thanks to demize for making
a script to find the broken pushed packages.

I admit it was really my fault for naively doing an upgrade. For further
notice, the aurweb-* binaries need to installed as 755 root.

I think we should package it in our repos as cgit-aurweb although we
discussed doing it in a seperate repository but I think that's a bit
more work for not a lot of extra benefits.

The issue I had with making the role work is that we install an
sshd_config and the AUR also needs it's own sshd_config.
