+As an alternative to the above traditional Swift packaging, Swift can be
+downloaded and installed using
+<a href="http://physics.bu.edu/~youssef/pacman/">pacman</a>, a package
+manager commonly used on the Open Science Grid.
+</p>
+<p>
+There are two installation targets:<br />
+The first will install Swift from the above tarball: <br />
+<pre>
+pacman -get http://www.ci.uchicago.edu/~benc/pacman:swift-0.6
+</pre> <br />
+The second will install Swift from the above tarball, as well as a number
+of supporting packages from the VDT software release to support use of the
+DOE CA and use of VOMS. (These packages are also available in a regular OSG or
+VDT installation): <br />
+<pre>
+pacman -get http://www.ci.uchicago.edu/~benc/pacman:swift-tools
+</pre>
