This looks pretty cool. I personally may not find it useful nowadays, but back when I first got started with arch I definitely could have used it. I still would probably get some use out of this for commands not frequently used. I'm going to go ahead and download this and try it out here and there.

To be honest, I feel a lot of users will find passing arguments directly to be quicker. This sounds like a great way to get more casual users involved in using the command line and updating the system though. Either way it looks nice, thank you for helping to give back to the community!

pacman, double wrapped for your sanitation

Posted this on AUR, but they told me to go here so.
A few suggestions: Add options to edit /etc/pacman.conf and /etc/yaourtrc, as well as plainly add repositories. That can't be hard, first two should just be "sudo nano FILE" or something similar, second one should be...
cat <<EOF >> /etc/pacman.conf
[$reponame]
Server = $repoaddr
EOF
(where $reponame and $repoaddr are retreived from the user). Also, an option to check who a file belongs to (yaourt -Qo $file) would be nice.

I would have no use for this, as I have no use for yaourt, but I'm sure it will be appreciated by those who do.

I would, however, strongly disagree with your claim that this is "designed for new users". New Arch users are the people who should NOT use AUR helpers - they should use makepkg and pacman until they become thoroughly familiar with the processes used during package creation. Only at that stage, when they are no longer "new users", should they consider using yaourt or other similar utilities.

@Tomk
I agree but this project is designed to familiarize you with the control yaourt and pacman. In fact, the print command to each transaction that is performing so he can get used to the user. I state that is a project created for personal use when I started using Arch to be able to learn commands and hope it will be useful to other users.

was created primarily for educational activities and fun. thanks for your contributions.
