buildaur – AUR helper with asp support

The AUR is an software repository for Arch Linux users and their self created or packaged software which is not in an official repository. Packages are not stored traditionally as packages, like in a normal software repository. They are stored as ‘PKGBUILD’s which are used in a makeprocess to create and install the package itself. An AUR helper is an program which does this job for you, just like a normal package manager like pacman. Buildaur is an AUR helper.

-asp: The ‘-asp’ option has in the first case nothing to do with the AUR itself, it’s rather a function which is very important for Arch Linux ARM. It builds a specified package, which may or may not be in the official Arch Linux ARM repository, but is in the one for x86_64, completely from the source and installs it. This is useful because some packages are not yet ported to ARM but may work.

This is free and open source software.
