I've been using pacman-color since a while ago (now pacman-color-testing as I'm using [testing]) and a few days ago I noticed that pacman-color is not used by makepkg. I got curious and started looking for information about a way of doing makepkg to use pacman-color instead of pacman. However the only way found is to modify the makepkg script itself, if I'm not wrong editing the line 2089: PACMAN=${PACMAN:-pacman} So now I have some questions about the right way to do this a) creating a package that conflicts with pacman because of makepkg being inside the pacman package (not very happy with this idea) b) creating a package that provides another makepkg script (lets say makepkg-color) that calls pacman-color instead of pacman c) something that I'm forgetting Any advice on this? Right now I'm only considering a package to keep track of the file and not editing the file because of ( possible ? ) troubles with updates. Alex
