Paktahn 0.8.1 released

The next version of Paktahn is ready.

Just sync-install your Paktahn package; rc testers will have to remove and reinstall explicitly.

New users should refer to the original blog post for instructions.

Changes

Bug fixes

* fixed x86_64 package building/installation
* fixed case when $EDITOR also had args in it (e.g. “emacsclient -l”)
* throw an error when the user attempts to build an AUR package as root
* fixed –help and -h arguments (reported by Ralith)

New features

* package removal support
* support for provider packages
* support for reinstallation of packages
* ask the user whether he wants to add his arch if it’s not listed in the PKGBUILD.

Comments?

As usual please let me know of any bugs and your wishes.

    Can’t wait for the update command to roll in, then I will be able to entirely switch from yaourt, “pak update” or just the regular -Syu would be great

    Thanks. I will put the 0.8.2 focus on versioning and updating!
