Favorite Packages

Is there a way to subscribe to certain packages or save them as useful to the AUR account?  I use a bunch of packages but sometimes I want to have a list of the packages I use incase I have to reinstall but can't remember the names off my head.

How about bookmarks in your browser?

'pacman -Qm' should be a good start.

Re: Favorite Packages

This will generate a list of packages from the AUR.

#!/bin/bash
for pkg in $(pacman -Qqm); do
  curl -f http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/$pkg &>/dev/null && echo $pkg
done
