community-driven repository for Arch users. It contains package
descriptions (PKGBUILDs) that allow you to compile a package from
source with makepkg and then install it via pacman."

The benefit of this is:
1. You cut down on hosting as the PKGBUILD only contains instructions
to download from the original file repo. As an example check PKGBUILD
for lightdm[2].
2. A package could be put into something like the AUR before it is
pushed to a more stable repo.

Opinions?

Thanks!

Funfact: If you consider AUR, Arch Linux has ~35020 packages which are
more than those in Debian Unstable (~30500)
