I've been using pacman-color since a while ago (now pacman-color-testing
as I'm using [testing]) and a few days ago I noticed that pacman-color
is not used by makepkg.


I got curious and started looking for information about a way of doing
makepkg to use pacman-color instead of pacman. However the only way
found is to modify the makepkg script itself, if I'm not wrong editing
the line 2089:


PACMAN=${PACMAN:-pacman}

So now I have some questions about the right way to do this

a) creating a package that conflicts with pacman because of makepkg
being inside the pacman package (not very happy with this idea)


b) creating a package that provides another makepkg script (lets say
makepkg-color) that calls pacman-color instead of pacman


c) something that I'm forgetting

Any advice on this? Right now I'm only considering a package to keep
track of the file and not editing the file because of ( possible ? )
troubles with updates.

Setting PACMAN=pacman-color in you environment...


I keny I was forgetting something, duh.

Thank you, Allan.

export PACMAN=pacman-color
make sure it's sourced, .bashrc is a convenient place for things like that.

That won't work with makepkg.
