[arch-general] Best way to make makepkg use pacman-color
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

export PACMAN=pacman-color make sure it's sourced, .bashrc is a convenient place for things like that. more on default expansion in http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/100#Default_or_alternate_values

That won't work with makepkg. -- (\_ /) copy the bunny to your profile (0.o ) to help him achieve world domination. (> <) come join the dark side. /_|_\ (we have cookies.)
