.SH NAME
|
|
pacman.conf \- pacman package manager configuration file
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
\fBpacman\fP, using \fBlibalpm\fP, will attempt to read \fBpacman.conf\fP each
|
|
time it is invoked. 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 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.
