Introduction

Bauerbill is an extension of Powerpill that supports downloading and building packages from ABS, the AUR, CPAN and Hackage. As an extension of Powerpill it supports download acceleration via parallel and segmented downloads, including for source files when building packages. It also includes internal support for Reflector, Rebase and PkgD.

Usage

Bauerbill shares some of the same commands as pacman; reading the pacman commands will get you started. But Bauerbill is an extension to pacman/Powerpill, so it then brings its own commands.
