-.SH NAME
-pacsync \- package update frontend for pacman
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-\fBpacsync [--root <root>] <operation> [package] [package] ...\fP
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-\fBpacsync\fP is a \fIpackage update\fP frontend for the
-\fIpacman\fP package manager. It keeps track of the versions
-of packages installed on the local system and the versions of
-packages on a remote server. This allows you to issue a single
-command and have you system's packages brought into sync.
-.SH OPERATIONS
-.TP
-.B "sync"
-Download a new copy of the package list from the server. This
-should be done regularly, usually before an "install", "upgrade"
-or "sysupgrade" command.
-.TP
-.B "install <package>"
-Install a new package. \fBpacsync\fP will first look for the package
-in the cache directory. If it is not there, it will attempt to
-download the file from the server. On success, the package will
-be installed. (Note that the downloaded file is also copied to
-a cache directory on your filesystem. You can delete it with
-"clean").
-.TP
-.B "upgrade <package>"
-Upgrade a package. This is the same as \fIinstall\fP, except a package
-is upgraded (ie, it is already installed in the system).
-.TP
-.B "report"
-Generate an upgrade report. This operation will compare all local
-package versions to remote versions, and then show you a report of
-the differences.
-.TP
-.B "sysupgrade"
-Full system upgrade. This is the same as report except after confirmation,
-\fBpacsync\fP will upgrade all packages that are not up to date.
-.TP
-.B "clean"
-This will remove all downloaded packages from the cache directory. This
-can/should be used regularly to free up diskspace.
-.SH CONFIGURATION
-Configuration options are stored in /etc/pacsync.conf. Currently there is only
-one directive.
-.TP
-.B "SYNC_SERVER"
-This should be set to the full URL of the download server closest to you.
-FTP is preferred, but HTTP is supported also, provided you have wget.
