How to get all the PKGBUILD in aur ?

Now , I use a lftp script to update my PKGBUILD of aur.

Is there a svn method  to do so ?

my lftp script

open    http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/
lcd  /var/abs/aur/
queue mirror  -c --delete-first --delete      --exclude-glob '*.tar.gz'   ./
quit

I'm not an AUR expert, but I don't think the PKGBUILDs are kept under SVN. It might not be a bad idea though, because then all revisions of a PKGBUILD would be automatically cached.

I'm curious to know why you want to download all the PKGBUILDs. Do you have a project in mind that uses all of them, is it for simple local access, or something else? I can't imagine anyone wanting to install even half of all those packages so I'm just curious if there's an interesting reason. :-)

Now a use abs to get all the PKGBUILDs of the packages in current and extra  , and modified some of them . And then all of them will automaticly compiled to Arch Packages. And then I setup a Repository of my own, from where I upgrade my packages.

However, I can't get the PKGBUILDS of community , so I refer to AUR...

Abs supports getting the pkgbuilds from community , check /etc/abs/abs.conf .
just remove the ! before community.

(a sup-file for community was added a few months ago)

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Re: How to get all the PKGBUILD in aur ?

damnit how many times do i have to explain this. Packages DO NOT get deleted from the /packages/ directory even after they are deleted from the AUR database. So when you use the /packages/ index to list packages in the AUR, not only are you getting and old listing (hey... maybe some of those packages were deleted for a good reason.. like security or something) with pacakges that may be in other repos are gone altogether, but you're pounding the shit out of the server too.

*sigh*
