AUR 4

[helixarch]

It needs AUR 4 support

[ghost]

there's fledgling support- you can change the URL's used in /etc/apacman.conf

RPCURL="https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc.php?type" PKGURL="https://aur.archlinux.org"

These can be set to aur4. HOWEVER, the compatibility fails as the output differs slightly. e.g.: AUR3 (https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc.php?type=info&arg=dumpet):

{"version":1,"type":"info","resultcount":1,"results":{"ID":79002,"Name":"dumpet","PackageBaseID":79002,"PackageBase":"dumpet","Version":"2.1-2","CategoryID":16,"Description":"A tool for debugging El Torito boot images.","URL":"https:\/\/fedorahosted.org\/dumpet\/","NumVotes":1,"OutOfDate":0,"Maintainer":"sanerb","FirstSubmitted":1392392790,"LastModified":1392392994,"License":"GPL2","URLPath":"\/packages\/du\/dumpet\/dumpet.tar.gz"}}

AUR4 (https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc.php?type=info&arg=dumpet):

{"version":1,"type":"info","resultcount":1,"results":{"ID":184267,"Name":"dumpet","PackageBaseID":79002,"PackageBase":"dumpet","Version":"2.1-2","Description":"A tool for debugging El Torito boot images.","URL":"https:\/\/fedorahosted.org\/dumpet\/","NumVotes":1,"OutOfDate":0,"Maintainer":"sanerb","FirstSubmitted":1392392790,"LastModified":1433780379,"License":"GPL2","URLPath":"\/cgit\/aur.git\/snapshot\/dumpet.tar.gz","CategoryID":1,"Popularity":0}}

Here's what the diff looks like (piped through jshon):

someone want to test those changes for me? tested, seems to do the trick.

EDIT: i am a gorram silly ninny. the issue i mention below? yeah. uh, i missed a slash in the PKGBUILD url. lolz. it's late.

@oshazard i'll create a PR for this.

Thank you @bts368 . Merged. I have a couple more changes to make and still need to migrate my packages to AUR4

[oshazard]

Wrote this quickly to migrate packages, might be useful for someone else: https://gist.github.com/oshazard/370c7ed631af2181ee51

ATTN: @helixarch @bts368

• apacman 1.9 now in AUR4
• Defaults to AUR4 now
• Added a --legacy flag to use AUR3 for the meantime (until August)
