pacman

pacman is developed athttps://gitlab.archlinux.org/pacman/pacman and wemaintain a fork athttps://github.com/msys2/msys2-pacman. The main differenceis support for Windows/Cygwin specifics.

Behaviour differences compared to Arch Linux pacman:

• Due to performance reasons our makepkg does not lint PKGBUILD files by default. This can be enabled by setting the env varMAKEPKG_LINT_PKGBUILD=1
• When pacman asks for confirmation to remove a package, it will always default to "yes", instead of "no" like on Arch Linux. This allows the--noconfirm option to be used to continue without user interaction, similar to--yes withapt-get (upstream issue:https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/32886)
