Run a self-updating network shared pacman cache

About a month ago I began working out how to share a pacman cache without the problems that the solutions proposed until now had.
I wanted my cache to be:

• easily configurable

• in control of the packages in the cache

• capable of handling multiple clients simultaneously

• self-updating

Especially the last point comes in handy if you frequently want to update your system without having to wait for a package download first.
All you need for this to work is a device that is able to share files per SAMBA/NFS and that is online most of the time (preferably 24/7).
If you're interested, head over to github and check it out.
