AUR

Definitions

1. The common abbreviation for the Arch User Repository, a community source of package build scripts for Arch Linux. In open-source culture AUR is often spoken of with affection, caution, and a little dependency-induced chaos.

   In plain English: Short for the Arch User Repository.

   Example: "The package existed in AUR before it ever reached the official repositories, which made it easy to try but also worth inspecting carefully."
