Embed AUR on other website

Hi!

I'm working on a new Arch-based distro, and I'd like to know if it's possible to embed AUR into another webpage, so that users of our distro have access to the same packages as Arch users do without having to show directly this website... this would be cool because all of our users would be somehow contributing directly to Arch without doubling efforts...

Any suggestions will do.

Thanks

I believe the AUR is accessible via xmlrpc.  You may be able to build a front end to it.  I'd talk to the AUR maintainers first, though.

Just in case you haven't heard of it - the aur-dev mailing list is the place to go.

It is actually a lightweight json data fetch api. xml is the devil.
