Refreshes the pacman package cache from the FTP servers and provides LWRPs related to pacman

Platform: ArchLinux. Pacman is not relevant on other platforms.

Use the pacman_group resource to install or remove pacman package groups. Note that at this time the LWRP will check if the group is installed but doesn't do a lot of error checking or handling. File a ticket on the COOK project at tickets.opscode.com for improvements and feature requests.

The options parameter can be used to pass arbitrary options to the pacman command.

Use the pacman_aur resource to install packages from ArchLinux's AUR repository.

• :build - Builds the package.
• :install - Installs the built package.

• version - hardcode a version
• builddir - specify an alternate build directory, defaults to Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]/builds.
• options - pass arbitrary options to the pacman command.
• pkgbuild_src - whether to use an included PKGBUILD file, put the PKGBUILD file in in the files/default directory.
• patches - array of patch names, as files in files/default that should be applied for the package.

Include recipe[pacman] early in the run list, preferably first, to ensure that the package caches are updated before trying to install new packages.
