Dear all, I downloaded pacman 3.3 (the latest) and tried to build it. It builds except for a small change (it defines a strnlen that is already defined. Probably due to a misdetection of the gnu-ness of Belenix)
After that I managed to have makepkg of a PKGBUILD download some source from the internet and will try to have it compiled somethong tomorrow. Then I will try to install it with pacman. To see if there is big difficulties down the road. But, from the point of view of porting it, pacman at first sight seems a valid choice. Best regards, Nicolas.
