Arch User Repository (AUR) sadrzi samo shell script-e (PKGBUILD) sa instrukcijama za izgradnju paketa, nesto nalik BSD port sistemu. Prednost AUR-a je u tome sto mozete da otvorite PKGBUILD datoteku i pogledate npr. lokaciju sa koje se preuzima source code, instrukcije za kompajliranje, izmenite ih, dodate nove, itd. U slucaju PPA dobijate onako kako je zapakovano. Takodje, prednost je i centralizovanost AUR riznice, tj. dodaje se samo jednom, dok kod PPA, za svaki paket mora novi PPA.
Inace, Linux danas puni 25 godina.

The Linux kernel now supports more than 80 different architectures, Torvalds says, and counts 22 million lines of code with more than 5,000 developers from about 500 companies contributing, according to the latest Linux Kernel Development Report released this week. It is the big, professional project that Torvalds himself didn’t expect in that first public announcement 25 years ago.
