The spirit of Powerpill returns for Canterbury

Those of you who have been following the Canterbury Project closely will note the new package manager.  Of course, Arch already has a PKGBUILD available for it, which you can find here:

We are all still mourning the wonderful utilities that Xyne provided us for speedy downloads and many other benefits.  But with the new distribution comes a new hope.  I have put together a tool which begins to bring back the spirit of Powerpill for the Canterbury Linux package manager.

Introducing cannot, a cant wrapper which uses aria2c for downloads:

This is still alpha, so it may be buggy, but rest assured I am working on it around the clock!

P.S. See if you can spot the Easter egg!
