Add the ability to control package installs based on licenses
by Bryson Steck 31 Jul '25

31 Jul '25

Hi all, I've been looking through the source code of pacman and wanted to ask the dev's their thoughts of a new feature. I use Arch on my desktop and Gentoo on my laptop. I love Gentoo, but the compile times really drag on sometimes and I really don't want to wait for them, /especially/ when using Gentoo as a desktop OS. I can't seem to drop it though because of one big feature that Portage has: the ability to mask packages based on their licensing with the ACCEPT_LICENSE variable. I love the fact that I can be stopped from installing a nonfree package, but not be so restrictive that I cannot install them if I wish. I can't seem to find that feature in any other package manager natively, so I'm looking for avenues to contribute to them. I thought pacman would be a good choice for this, as I am very familiar with Arch already and that the Arch Wiki itself discourages the use of nonfree software <https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Nonfree_applications_package_guidelines>. I'm not sure if this feature was requested before (I checked the Gitlab issues to no avail), but I am interested in spending time on this issue if there doesn't seem to be any push back. Let me know! Thanks! -- Bryson Steck bryson(a)steck.dev

[Git][pacman/pacman][master] libalpm: fix regression in downloader
by Allan McRae (＠allan) 21 Jun '25

21 Jun '25

Allan McRae pushed to branch master at Pacman / Pacman Commits: 67e3a7be by morganamilo at 2025-05-30T14:48:14+01:00 libalpm: fix regression in downloader Fixes failure to finalize download path if the package file already exists but the .sig file does not. This patch also moves .sig.part files which should be done for completeness although it's probably rare/inconsequential for them to exist. Hopefully this is now the right approach now. The logic is as follows: Check if dest_name or temp_name exists and try to move whichever does. If neither exist assume we're just downloading sig files and don't error. Figure out the .sig base filename. Try to move the .sig file if one was needed and if that fails try move the .sig.part file. The patch leaves the logging as is. Maybe we should check if moves fail for reasons other than non existence and log it properly. Though this is probably rare and pacman will error out later anyway.
