pacregex - Advanced regex search of pacman repositories

This is my earlier program, comminitytags with the tagging functionality removed. The result is, in my opinion, a useful tool for querying the pacman repos.

Examples:

# Find packages hosted on suckless.org
$ pacregex 'url=.*suckless.org'

# Find all packages depending on python that are hosted on github
$ pacregex 'url=.*github and depend=python'

# Find all packages in extra with names starting with "python" 
$ pacregex 'name=python and repo=extra'

# Find packages containing files with "pkgfile" in their paths
$ pacregex 'file=.*pkgfile'

# Find packages with files in /bin or /usr/bin, hosted on github, depending on python, under the MIT license
$ pacregex '(file=bin or file=usr/bin) and url=.*github and depend=python and license=MIT'

I hope I'm not the only one to find such a program useful.

Please fix the upstream url on https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pacregex-git/
It should say 'pac', not 'pag': https://github.com/ids1024/pagregex -> https://github.com/ids1024/pacregex
