A little wrapper script to keep Arch Linux from shooting you in the foot.
On a clean Arch installation pacmatic never produces `/var/log/arch-news.log`. It fails to download and parse the news because the [location](https://github.com/keenerd/pacmatic/blob/master/pacmatic#L5) moved permanently and `curl` [command](https://github.com/keenerd/pacmatic/blob/master/pacmatic#L59) is missing the flag `-L`...
I am unable to find any license associated with this code, could you add one?
I know this isn't something you should do often but today I needed to do a `pacmatic -S --overwrite \*` and pacmatic threw a fit and complained that the files...
The Arch news rss feed is behind a "moved permanently" response. Need to add `-L` to the curl fetch to follow. Fixes #41

I ran [shellcheck](https://www.shellcheck.net/) on pacmatic, inspired by @HaleTom in #38. Went through suggestions by shellcheck, just a bunch of small bugfixes. The goal is to make pacmatic more robust. pacmatic...
The `'*'` in the following is not preserved, instead expanding to all files in the directory: ``` % pac -U station-1.34.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz --overwrite '*' loading packages... warning: station-1.34.1-1 is up to...
I noticed that the zsh completion could be simplified. I've seen this shim technique used in [RichiH/vcsh](https://github.com/RichiH/vcsh/blob/eadb8df6aa71a76e5be36492edcadb118bd862ac/_vcsh#L143-L144).
I use pacmatic every day, and am very happy to have it's automatic `.pac{new,save}` and mailing list checking as I'm upgrading. One thing I've been missing is Bash completion for...
