@Karcsesz@equestria.social Well for example, the Gemini browser amfora can be found in extra/amfora, but also in the AUR as amfora-git: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/amfora-git
The same is true for pretty much every extra/ package I have installed, which is why I thought extra/ and AUR are the same.

@hawthornbunny@equestria.social Ah yep, I can definitely understand the confusion c: You can usually find a -git version of official packages in the AUR. They're meant for alpha testers and developers, because they track the main branch of a given project instead of only shipping the release versions like the non -git equivalent. There is another common suffix in the AUR, -bin, that means the packaging script doesn't build from source but just downloads a precompiled binary from somewhere and installs it into your system.
