Pacman works well; however, in my opinion, its main problem has to do with the creation of new packages. I found that using "CheckInstall" with Slackware (or even Ubuntu and Debian) would install and create the package automatically for me. It would be awesome if the Arch guys added Pacman support to checkinstall and made the creation of Pacman packages automatic.
Is he asking for srcpac? I havn't used slackware recently and didn't use it long enough to use "CheckInstall" so don't understand all about this.
CheckInstall is actually very convenient. You just do the normal ./configure && make, and then you run checkinstall instead of make install. This way you end up with a new Slackware package which is automatically installed. I used that tool a lot to keep with Slackware's packaging system, and it was very convenient.
As for the review, I found it to be very nice and professional.
