This tells me that you do not actually know what the AUR is. The AUR is a collection of build scripts (in Arch Linux parlance, the "PKGBUILD"), which describes how to download and build a package. Yourself. :) :) You can trust an AUR package to the same extent you can trust your own eyeballs, which you use to read the PKGBUILD and confirm that it is doing the same thing the stable PKGBUILD in the ABS is doing. -- Eli Schwartz
