Pauron

Pauron is an automation bot for AUR repositories. You can think it of like watcher for github releases. The name emerges from Sauron but with "P" beginning.

It patches PKGBUILD & .SRCINFO files when a new release is detected at upstream then pushes to AUR repository. This way, you can maintain more AUR repositories with less effort on updating new release versions.

Note

We only support GitHub upstream URLs for AUR packages.
