    [WIP] Arch User Repository (AUR) lister
    
    Add 'aur' module to swh-lister with data fixtures and tests.
    For now, origin url are package vcs (Git) url.

See https://jenkins.softwareheritage.org/job/DLS/job/tests-on-diff/550/ for more details.

@ardumont @vlorentz Hi, here is a first implementation of the Arch User Repository (AUR).

It's about 83841 packages today, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.
I get the packages list through https://aur.archlinux.org/packages-meta-ext-v1.json.gz wich is about 6,6Mb gzip file.

There is an rpc named Aurweb RPC interface, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Aurweb_RPC_interface but its recommended to download a json.gz file which contains some metadata for each packages. See https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2021-November/036659.html

The main difference from Arch linux is that the end user builds its own packages with the help of makepkg + pacman. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository for more details.
It mainly stands on git repositories containing PKGBUILD file and .PKGINFO, see https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/log/?h=hg-evolve for an example.

There is no real direct way for the lister to discover where to download oldest versions of a package. There is a canonical url for each package in its page description but its the latest snapshot url, no way to know which version it is when downloading from this link.

For now I did not implement scrapping or whatever to get oldest versions of a package because I did not find a common way to do that. There is a git log on package page but messages are obviously inconsistent ( https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/log/?h=hg-evolve ).

Maybe we can play with git to found some kind of version diff history in .SRCINFO file as I've tried before for Arch PKGINFO file, but with this amount of repositories it will probably take a lot of time and resources. The .SRCINFO contains generally a link to the 'real' package corresponding version. See https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/.SRCINFO?h=hg-evolve

What do you think?
Is it ok to say that the origin is a git repository url in this case?
If yes, will the loader really be a Package loader or VCS git loader?

no need, we usually have it empty.

There is no real direct way for the lister to discover where to download oldest versions of a package. There is a canonical url for each package in its page description but its the latest snapshot url, no way to know which version it is when downloading from this link.

If they are not directly available, then it doesn't make sense to have them in snapshots anyway. We'll just have successive visits of the loader as history.

clearly git loader, as there can be branches and whatnot; history also matters here.

However, the main content of these repositories is the PKGBUILD, which (among other things) fetches the code from somewhere else (tarball, git commit, ...), and the PKGBUILD alone is not very useful without that code. Therefore, it looks like we should implement something like T3923, to fetch the actual code.

Fix an issue with requests usage when downloading packages archives ensuring it does not decode the binary directly. (tests and CI were fine, but got the bug while testing runner on docker)

what was the bug, exactly? I don't see how the new code changes the behavior.

Also, please remove Updating D8033: [WIP] Arch User Repository (AUR) lister from change descriptions; it's redundant and makes the "History" tab of https://forge.softwareheritage.org/D8033#toc less readable

@vlorentz The change force requests.get to not automatically decompress the response. This way we are sure we always get the raw archive as is. See https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/quickstart/#raw-response-content

No need if you always return one element?

I gather that's a working directory. If so, you'll need to have some post-listing routine cleanup.

107–122

I've also adapted according to my type suggestion early on.

swh/lister/aur/lister.py
22

i mean, your code below returns page of one element if i read it correctly.

124–139

in effect, you only read one origin per "page".

Looks good! Two more nitpicks before this is good to merge:

swh/lister/aur/__init__.py
20–23

I don't think that's accurate; we do archive split packages, but only their "pkgbase" because that is the only one that actually has source code.

77–96

why is "version" in both?

Rephrase the documentation part about regular and split packages

I rephrase it, does it looks ok for you?

77–96

Because its the associative key for lines for both dict which is needed for the loader the get the corresponding informations.
Btw there will be only one line in the case of aur. I think it's more explicit to keep it as is, but if you want me to remove it, I sure can.

Can we merge this one?
