gollark: Well, it would be less useful if there wasn't a good central repo too.
gollark: "Search packages" is `pacman -Ss [whatever]`, "install" is `pacman -S [whatever]`, "update repos and update all packages" (it is apparently unsafe to update only individual packages) is `pacman -Syu`.
gollark: You pick a "subcommand" with a capital-letter flag like `-S` (sync, which seems to be a fancy word for "Install packages"), `-Q` (query information aboud stuff) and then pass extra flags to configure how that works.
gollark: > what's a pacman-like CLI?Arch Linux (btw I use that) has a neat package manager called `pacman`.> what counts as package updating support?Updating packages without breaking things horribly, including not overwriting user-edited (config) files.> and library interface as in an API you can use from scripts?Precisely.
gollark: Oh, and a library interface.
