Today I want to announce that MSYS2 now has console package manager -
pacman that is ported from Arch Linux. I'm still working on porting pacman
but it work in general.
You can find general info about packman here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/pacman
I create experimental base msys2 snapshot with pacman
http://sourceforge.net/projects/msys2/files/Base/i686/msys2-base-i686-20131112.tar.xz/download
Also I prebuilt packages for 32-bit MSYS2 (64-bit still building).
I store MSYS2 repositories here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/msys2/files/REPOS/MSYS2/
I invite all who use MSYS2 to test this feature. For it you need download
base snapshot and unpack it somewhere.
The do first start MSYS2 and restart it. Now you can install, upgrade or
uninstall packages using pacman.
1. Synchronize package DB: pacman -Sy
2. Install package or package group: pacman -S [<package_name> or
<package_group>]
Where groups now can be
- base: installed in base snapshot;
- base-devel: developer tools
- VCS: version control systems (git,mercurial,subversion)
- development: headers and import libraries for msys2 packages
- msys2-devel: msys versions of gcc,binutils
- editors: nano,vim
- perl-modules: only few now. Build more when done 64-bit packages
- compression: tar, p7zip, xz, gzip and others
3. All other command you can see in help :)
Regards,
Alexey.
