Hi everyone,

With the release of pacman 3.1.2 I was reminded to get around to putting 
a pacman-contrib package into AUR/community like I said I would [1].  I 
have categorized the files in the contrib directory below.

Utilities:
  pacdiff
  pacsearch
  re-pacman (needs some updates? [2])
  wget-xdelta.sh

vim:
  PKGBUILD.vim
  vimproject (needs updated - developer use only)

Included in pacman package:
  bash_completion
  zsh_completion

Old:
  gensync
  updatesync

I think the pacman-contib package should only include pacdiff, 
pacserach, re-pacman, PKGBUILD.vim.  I did a very quick review of the 
files to check if they still work with the current pacman. As far as I 
can tell pacdiff and pacsearch don't need updated.   I will look into 
updating re-pacman as I don't see any commits to this file since [2]. No 
idea about the status with PKGBUILD.vim - I don't use vim for PKGBUILDs 
so can someone else comment here.

Any comments on the status of these scripts or list of scripts to be 
included?

Thanks,
Allan
