<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div>Hi,<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Right, again, I think the packagekit backend should use pacman, alpm is<br>
too low level to be a top level abstraction.<br></blockquote></div><br>Well - actually, "using" pacman in this case isn't possible. Nothing of the pacman code is exportet as a library.<br><br>The only thing which I can propose is, that the "pacman" backend parses the pacman configuration (as already the GUI Shaman did in it's first version - also for this, there was no other solution), using ALPM functions for the rest of the backend (as the current ALPM backend does already).<br>
<br>So if you're fine with that, I'd rather start out writing a config parser for the pacman configuration than using hardcoded repositories.<br><br>I think this could push the backend for alpm a step further, giving the possibility to implement the missing backend functions using ALPM.<br>
