Pacman
======

Provides aliases and utility functions for package management on Arch Linux with
`pacman` and `yaourt`.

Aliases
-------

This module defines some useful aliases to work with `pacman` and `yaourt`.
These aliases use `sudo` whenever a command needs privileges.

- `arch-upgrade`: Upgrade the whole system with `yaourt`, if installed, or with
  `pacman` otherwise.

### Aliases for `yaourt`

These aliases use the `yaourt` command, and are thus only available, if
[`yaourt`][1] is installed.

  unneeded dependencies.

  databases against the repositories.
