Distribution.ArchLinux maintainer search for the AUR
Greetings, The JSON AUR interface now has an msearch method in its API to allow finding all packages by a certain maintainer. So now it's possible to do: http://aur.archlinux.org/rpc.php?type=msearch&arg=arch-haskell to get all the packages maintained by the arch-haskell devs. The change required in Distribution.ArchLinux is trivial, but I would be willing to provide a darcs patch if it's somehow needed.

Oh good. This saves me a lot of manual work.

Thanks for the news, and the example API use. I've implemented the binding, and it is now available in archlinux 0.3 package: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/archlinux-0.3 An example of how to use it: import Distribution.ArchLinux.AUR import Control.Monad me = "arch-haskell" main = do packages <- maintainer me forM_ packages $ putStrLn . packageName To print all packages by "me" In AUR now. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=29267 Enjoy! -- Don
