A good number of new packages that enter the official repositories
start in the AUR. In the AUR, users are able to contribute their own
package builds (PKGBUILD and related files). The AUR community has the
ability to vote for or against packages in the AUR. If a package
becomes popular enough -- provided it has a compatible license and
good packaging technique -- it may be entered into the [community]
repository (directly accessible by pacman or abs).
