From 66c6d288fd44b2f148860c7abbd1ed56b31a9238 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cedric Staniewski Date: Wed, 2 Dec 2009 19:04:32 +0100 Subject: makepkg: allow to specify an alternative pacman command If PACMAN environment variable is set, makepkg will try to use this command to check for installed dependencies and to install or remove packages. Otherwise, makepkg will fall back to pacman. Implements FS#13028.
