How to use new features

PACSTALL_BUILD_CORES variable

If you wish to force a Pacscript utilizing the nproc command to build with a different amount of cores, you may specify the PACSTALL_BUILD_CORES variable like this:

PACSTALL_BUILD_CORES=3 pacstall -I emacs
# Or
export PACSTALL_BUILD_CORES=3
pacstall -I emacs
