pacpak is not meant to redistribute already packaged containers from upstream. Instead it can be used to create containers from existing Arch packages. Basically, a copy of Arch is installed into a container runtime. Then different sets of regular Arch packages can be added on top of the Arch base system to create one app container each. This is similar to one chroot per app, but with additional security measures and available to non-root users. Common files are stored only once on the hard drive.
`pacpak -Syu` would therefore always install exactly the same version of the software as available with regular pacman.
Cool. Now that I understand what you are doing, it's a great idea! :) I just want to be able to keep my system up to date myself _and_ rely on the additional protection coming from maintainers. I had indeed misunderstood the purpose of your program. Cheers, Bennett -- GPG fingerprint: 871F 1047 7DB3 DDED 5FC4 47B2 26C7 E577 EF96 7808
