[manjaro-dev] pamac 2 beta

[Guillaume Benoit]

I am proud to announce that, after months of work, pamac2 beta is available.
It has be completely rewritten in vala. Why? There are two main reasons:
- it now directly depends on libalpm so it is easier to maintain
- it is faster and uses less memory

So it contains now:
- alpm bindings for vala, other people could be interested
- a DBus daemon which can perform every tasks which need root access 
using polkit to check authorization, it can be used by any other program.
- pamac-manager and pamac-updater as you know before but with some new 
design, try them !
- the progress dialog now includes a terminal, it permits to launch 
yaourt which is used now to build packages from AUR.

As a beta it needs some polishing, so don't hesitate to test and report, 
I join the PKGBUILD.

Regards,
Guillaume.
