Come to Arch Linux we got uhhhh

- a dank wiki
- a huge source repository to install any software you want that as its last stage compresses the result before immediately decompressing it to perform the installation

Seriously why the hell am I xzipping AUR packages and then immediately xunzipping them

pacman should accept bare directories and just overlay them on / because THAT'S WHAT PKG.TAR.XZ DOES ANYWAY

@myrrlyn I wonder if that's a holdover from the arch folks smoking one too many unixes and thinking "whoa, what if cp -r was implemented by piping tar into itself" cuz that's how plan9 does it
