Note:

   Although this notice allows you to redistribute copies of Pacman, I much prefer it if you 
use Pacman's own mechanisms to get and update Pacman as in 

% pacman -get Pacman:Pacman
% pacman -update-check

etc.  This has the advantage that you will automatically be notified when new releases become
available.

Note: 

    Pacman uses a module "platform" maintained by Marc-Andre Lemburg (mal@egenix.com) which is
distributed with Python, but only with versions 2.3 and above.

  For more information about Pacman, see http://physics.bu.edu/pacman/ .
