Hello all, I have played again this morning with pacman on BeleniX 0.8 beta.
pacman builds quite easily. Then makepkg needs a more bsd/linux-like 'file' command to work. But 'file' builds easily. After that everything works. I have been able to have makepkg automatically download, build and package "patch". pacman manage to install patch in its subtree, and 'patch' seems to run properly after that. The only problem is the lack of fakeroot which force to build as root or to package without the right ownership. Is there an equivalent to fakeroot in BeleniX? So Arch makepkg/pacman seems quite easy to port. Best regards, Nicolas.
