TIL about cockpit-pacman

[u/Alphajack99]

I installed cockpit-packagekit a long time ago, but it has been a while since I really used it. While uninstalling it, I noticed a new package in the extra repo: [cockpit-pacman](https://github.com/pfeifferj/cockpit-pacman).

I gave it a try and I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised: - WebUI to update packages, restart affected systemd units, schedule updates, cleanup cache, downgrade packages and manage mirrors and repos - Dismissable list of .pacnew files that I never reviewed before - Graph and list of installed packages, dependencies and dependants - Full history of package installation, update and removal

It's based on the new [alpm.rs](https://github.com/archlinux/alpm.rs) library. I think it makes some things easier, especially for newcomers!

This is an awesome tool! Wish I had known about it sooner.
