Officially, the tarballs uploaded to the AUR should be named after their package, contain a directory named after their package, contain no dot files and most importantly contain no binaries. Officially, these requirements are very important.
Here are a bunch of non-conforming packages. Maybe 90% of them. (A few errors slip though my scanner.) Of the +700 packages with binaries, most are a simple desktop icon. Should these be base64 encoded if someone can't find hosting? If no one can think of a better way to deal with the nonconforming packages, I'll write a bot to post insulting comments. Personally, I really like this solution. The AUR has always had a wild west frontier / insane asylum feel to it. The less regulation, the better it works. But a few well placed suggestions could help make the two thousand maintainers do a better job. -Kyle http://kmkeen.com
