John, pacman is at its infancy, its not superior to any other package
management system, it just does the job it is inteneded to do atm, and
will grow as AL grows. think of it as slackware Pakage Mgt. tools with
an extra sync utitily added and thats is pacsync. I have just mentioned
it because its simple in concept and implementation.

on the other hand regarding Package managemnt! the LSB seems to
reccomend a system based on RPM somehow!! so that rules tools such as
pacman out in the mainstream distros.
