aur-comment-fetcher

This is just a very simple script for lazy archlinux users.

Sometimes, or quite often if some package won't build from AUR as you one expects it is usefull to read the comments, if you are lazy like me and don't wanna leave the command line this script will fetch the latest comments for you and print it nicely. It uses the python3-aur package to query aur if you didn't specify the correct name of the package at first place.

Actually there might be already better tools out there to do exactly that, but well I couldn't find any.

so go ahead and type:

aur-comment-fetch dvtm-git

which will result in a nicely formatted:
