  • On Linux systems, ensure the download process does not write outside the download directory

What does that mean “On Linux systems”? Pacman is available for non Linux systems?

The MSYS2 environment on Windows uses pacman as well.

This is exciting! Can’t wait to kill my install by trying to upgrade!

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

You can run pacman on Windows?

russjr08 ,

Kinda. One of the Linux “wrappers” (I’m a bit tired and can’t think of the correct term here, bear with me) that lets you utilize some Linux utilities on Windows, maybe it was mingw or cygwin, actually uses pacman as their package manager IIRC.

It’s called Ms. PacMan over there

I mean you don’t really use Arch if you don’t bork it once in a while. :)

That’s a very pleasant word for a horrible experience I keep doing to myself.

If anything, i would expect packagekit frontends to break. If you use pacman as intended, you’ll be just fine

Telorand ,

Damn, that game’s still going, eh? (/j)

federino OP ,

going full open source 😎

bionicjoey ,

Originally it was called puckman, but they changed it because it would have been too easy to vandalize people’s arch installations

Telorand ,

You win!

pacman is my favorite game on Arch.
