longer apply. If you want to help out with any of it, send me an email.
-Only vaguely related to pacman:
--------------------------------
-
-Port the libdownload (libfetch) manpage from BSD style to Linux style, or at
-very least change references to BSD.

Pacman 3.1:
-----------
-Documentation- look into moving man page format to a more portable source
-format to make translation easier to keep up-to-date (something like txt2tags,
-docbook, asciidoc) This will need some research.
-
-Update cache cleaning functionality - keep installed version, choose number to
-keep, etc. Good python script in the forums that we should try to emulate.
-
Downgrade feature - allow users to see cached packages and downgrade to
(previous or any?) available options.

Revamp the downloadprog function a bit. Seems kind of messy.

Build a replacement for this, or at least standardize its use. We shouldn't
always need to pass handle->root around, it is constant. Something like char*
buildpath(file).
