This configuration file is divided into sections or -\fIrepositories\fP. Each section defines a package repository that \fBpacman\fP -can use when searching for packages in \fB--sync\fP mode. The exception to this -is the \fIoptions\fP section, which defines global options. - -.SH EXAMPLE -.RS -.nf -# -# pacman.conf -# -[options] -NoUpgrade = etc/passwd etc/group etc/shadow -NoUpgrade = etc/fstab - -[current] -Include = /etc/pacman.d/current - -[custom] -Server = file:///home/pkgs -.fi -.RE - -.SH OPTIONS -.TP -.B DBPath = \fIpath/to/db/dir\fP -Overrides the default location of the toplevel database directory. The default -is \fIvar/lib/pacman\fP. -.TP -.B CacheDir = \fIpath/to/cache/dir\fP -Overrides the default location of the package cache directory. The default is -\fIvar/cache/pacman\fP. -.TP -.B HoldPkg = \fIpackage\fP ... -If a user tries to \fB--remove\fP a package that's listed in \fBHoldPkg\fI, -\fBpacman\fP will ask for confirmation before proceeding. -.TP -.B IgnorePkg = \fIpackage\fP ... -Instructs \fBpacman\fP to ignore any upgrades for this package when performing a -\fB--sysupgrade\fP. -.TP -.B Include = \fIpath\fP -Include another config file. This file can include repositories or general -configuration options. -.TP -.B XferCommand = \fI/path/to/command %u\fP -If set, an external program will be used to download all remote files. All -instances of \fB%u\fP will be replaced with the download URL. If present, -instances of \fB%o\fP will be replaced with the local filename, plus a ".part" -extension, which allows programs like wget to do file resumes properly. - -This option is useful for users who experience problems with built-in -http/ftp support, or need the more advanced proxy support that comes with -utilities like wget. -.TP -.B NoPassiveFtp -Disables passive ftp connections when downloading packages. (aka Active Mode) -.TP -.B NoUpgrade = \fIfile\fP ... -All files listed with a \fBNoUpgrade\fP directive will never be touched during -a package install/upgrade. Do \fInot\fP include the leading slash when -specifying files. -.TP -.B NoExtract = \fIfile\fP ... -All files listed with a \fBNoExtract\fP directive will never be extracted from -a package into the filesystem. This can be useful when you don't want part of a -package to be installed. For example, if your httpd root uses an index.php, -then you would not want the index.html file to be extracted from the -\fBapache\fP package. -.TP -.B UseSyslog -Log action messages through \fBsyslog()\fP. This will insert log entries into -\fI/var/log/messages\fP or equivalent. -.TP -.B LogFile = \fI/path/to/file\fP -Log actions directly to a file. Default is \fI/var/log/pacman.log\fP. -.TP -.B ShowSize -Display the size of individual packages for \fB--sync\fP and \fB--query\fP -modes. - -.SH REPOSITORY SECTIONS -Each repository section defines a section name and at least one location where -the packages can be found. The section name is defined by the string within -square brackets (the two above are 'current' and 'custom'). Locations are -defined with the \fBServer\fP directive and follow a URL naming structure. If -you want to use a local directory, you can specify the full path with -a 'file://' prefix, as shown above. - -The order of repositories in the file matters; repositories listed first will -take precedence over those listed later in the file when packages in two -repositories have identical names, regardless of version number. - -.SH USING YOUR OWN REPOSITORY -If you have numerous custom packages of your own, it is often easier to -generate your own custom local repository than install them all with the -\fB--upgrade\fP option. All you need to do is generate a compressed package -database in the directory with these packages so \fBpacman\fP can find it when -run with \fB--refresh\fP. - -.RS -.nf -repo-add /home/pkgs/custom.db.tar.gz /home/pkgs/*.pkg.tar.gz -.fi -.RE - -The above command will generate a compressed database named -\fI/home/pkgs/custom.db.tar.gz\fP. Note that the database must be of the form -\fI{treename}.db.tar.gz\fP, where {treename} is the name of the section defined -in the configuration file. That's it! Now configure your \fIcustom\fP section -in the configuration file as shown in the config example above. Pacman will -now use your package repository. If you add new packages to the repository, -remember to re-generate the database and use \fBpacman\fP's --refresh option. - -For more information on the \fBrepo-add\fP command, use \fB repo-add --help\fP. - -.SH SEE ALSO -.BR pacman (8), -.BR libalpm (3) - -See the Arch Linux website at for more current -information on the distribution and the \fBpacman\fP family of tools. - -.SH AUTHORS -.nf -Judd Vinet -Aurelien Foret -Aaron Griffin -Dan McGee -.fi - -See the 'AUTHORS' file for additional contributors. -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
