Hey Nigel and the gang;
Well, I *think* that unless someone wants to re-write and maintain jacman, you would be best advised to not use it.
I would suggest 'yaourt' as a replacement. It works very nicely here for what I need out of such a program, and it is being actively maintained as pacman evolves.
Very best regards;

P.S.. Jacman is a great idea, so *IF* someone brings it up to date, I am sure it would be VERY popular.
Apparently, its developer was interested in updating it, but it was supposed to come "any day now", and that was 6 months ago : http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=272848#p272848 There has been 2 major pacman upgrades since last jacman release in Dec 2006 (3.0 and 3.1) :p So probably help is welcome indeed.
