What is it you don't like about the AUR?

I run Arch but don't install anything from the AUR unless absolutely necessary (or if it is dead simple enough for me to understand). I find the pacman-only experience makes a great stable low effort stable PC with all the latest bells and whistles. System updates on the weekend, once a week. No problems.

I guess I was startled when I went for my go-to desktop (fvwm) and it wasn't in the main repo, but the AUR.

It feels like it means they're not actually maintaining a lot of their package pool, just tossing it off on third parties.

Interesting. It looks like there's a couple criteria to get something into the Extra repository, but the primary one looks to be a ready and willing package maintainer. Sounds like that hasn't happened yet for fvwm.
