I’m a user of ArchLinux, a lightweight and flexible Linux distribution that tries to Keep It Simple.
There are thousands of packages officially maintained in Arch’s package repositories. However, to ensure the robustness and completeness of available packages, a supplementary user-administrated repository exists, where users can create and maintain their own packages. This is called the Arch User Repository. The AUR allows users to add lesser-known packages that are not widely used enough to warrant maintenance time from an official developer, create spin-off packages of packages in the official repositories, contribute their own scripts, etc.
I’ve made a few contributions to the AUR. To see them, I refer you to:
