Just an example, one of many. Check the upstream. Four months old. Two contributors: some human and an orange asshole. Human has no other repositories, so I guess the asshole is the more trustworthy one.

I’m assuming this is just some vibe coded bullshit where someone just said yes to everything Claude asked. I’d read the code to confirm it’s not malicious but this person has already wasted enough of my time already.

Anyway AUR is not going to survive the Eternal Sloptober.

    Why shouldn’t they? They are using aur as intended, repository for user provided package recipes.

      Sure, it’s not against any rules, but it’s at least rude to claim an AUR package name for some vibecoded app you spun up one afternoon and are not planning on maintaining. OP is just complaining about low quality software—“why not write low-quality software?”, well sure, you are within your right to, but others are also within their rights to complain.

      Exactly. The way I see it, AUR is the Wild West where anything goes. There are good, bad and ugly packages so you better know what you’re doing when installing those.
