 Arch User Repository (AUR)

+==========================
 
-About:
-=====
 The Arch User Repository (AUR) is a framework for hosting a collection of
 packaging scripts that are created and submitted by the Arch community. The
-scripts contained in the repository (PKGBUILDS) can be built using the Arch
-building/packaging script (makepkg) and installed via the Arch pacman manager
-(pacman). The AUR project aims to provide the necessary web interface, database
-schema, and scripts for a multi-lingual community-driven repository.
