Sweet script, it always bothered me the way pacman -Ss formatted its output. The check you do for zenity has a minor problem, though. Instead of "if which zenity > /dev/null..." it needs to be "if which zenity &> /dev/null...", the former doesn't redirect error output. Anyway, very well done, than

[arch-general] script to reformat 'pacman -Ss' output into 2 readable columns (prevents blindness)

Guys, I developed a script to help me read the output of pacman -Ss in 2 nicely formatted columns. The output of 'pacman -Ss srchterm' drives me nuts trying to read down the package names and descriptions with all the tab indented and wrapped text -- so I fixed it. Download the script here:

[arch-general] Lynx package lacks documentation

Is it intentional the decision to not include in lynx package the program documentation, despite it being available from upstream sources? Upstream seems to prefer if users set HELPFILE in lynx.cfg to a local path, as can be seen from this quote (lynx.cfg): "The default HELPFILE is: http://ly
