[SOLVED] Rebuilding all installed AUR packages

Question

Hi guys,
before starting to hack some dirty script on my own i would like to know if there's already any program/script which looks up the list of packages, which were installed from aur: pacman -Qqm, and rebuilds/exports them?
the reason why i ask: i have several machines running on arch64 and i need 50+ built packages to serve them in the intranet.
best regards

thx karol, i'm already using pacserve to avoid downloading packages for each machine in the network.
what i want to do is: read the output of 'pacman -Qqm' and rebuild + export the pkgs
i did a little bash script to achieve this. but i have to admit i'm not good at scripting but i gave my best improvements are welcomed
#/bin/bash
pkglist=/tmp/pkglist
builddir=/dev/shm/$(date +%F)/
exportdir=~/aurpkgbuilds
# Create builddir
if [ ! -d "$builddir" ];then mkdir $builddir
fi
# Create exportdir
if [ ! -d "$exportdir" ];then mkdir $exportdir
fi
# Getting the list of pkgs which were installed from AUR
pacman -Qqm > $pkglist
# Edit the list?
read -p "Would you like to edit the list? (y/N) " edit
if test "$edit" = "y"; then
$EDITOR $pkglist
fi
for i in $(cat $pkglist); do
cd $builddir
wget http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/${i}/${i}.tar.gz
tar xvfz ${i}.tar.gz
cd ${i}
makepkg -f
mv *.pkg.tar.xz "$exportdir"
done
# Clean up
read -p "Would you like to remove the builddir? (y/N) " rmbuilddir
if test "$rmbuilddir" = "y"; then
rm -rf $builddir
fi
exit 0
