Intriguing. I see a few things in there that could be tidied up, I'll do it now and send you a pull request.

Also, by convention, we capitalize environment variables (PAGER, EDITOR, ..) and internal shell variables (SHELL, BASH_VERSION, ..). All other variable names should contain at least one lower case letter. Remember that variable names are case-sensitive; this convention avoids accidentally overriding environmental and internal variables.

Cool, looking forward to seeing your improvements

Pull request sent. There are a few more things which could be improved, but I'm off to bed for now. Might send you another to pull later.

Have you seen pacnews and pacdiff from pacman-contrib?

Sounds neat. Since karol has already mentioned pacnews and pacdiff, I'll juts make a quick suggestion about how you make a temporary directory. Why are you using the date? mktemp has the -d switch to make a temporary directory instead of a file, you should try that out. If you still want it to start with etc-, look into mktemp's template structure.

Thanks, I'll be looking into making this change later today

Hey I just updated the script. It includes some contributions from Neurolysis as well as recent fixes.

All you have to do to use it is sudo ~/bin/batch_edit_pacman.sh (assuming you are a vim user)
