How Does Auto-Vote Works

aur-thumbsup will vote/unvote only for non-official installed packages. It starts by querying all installed packages that do not exist in official repositories (core, extra, community, and multilib) and then filter out any packages that do not exist in AUR. Finally, vote for any packages that not yet vote and unvote any packages that are not installed anymore.
