[Solved] Install entire repository

magyckleo · 2011-01-20 23:06:23

Hello!

This may sound like a really crazy thing, but I was wondering if it were possible to install every single program in a repository. And if it were possible, how do you do it?

For example, I want to install every program in the kde4-eyecandy-64 repository. How to do that?

I suggest you at least check the pacman manual and play around a bit before you ask .

Sorry, but "wondering" is not the right approach. RTFM and give it a go :-)

I'm asking cause I don't want to accidentally break my system... And what does RTFM mean?

Aaaaand what did Google tell you?

first of all, we don't have such repo. secondly RTFM means read the fine manual and there is no straight way to install all the packages.

you have to combine pacman -Slq repo + pacman -S -> pacman -S $(pacman -Slq repo)

more about the options pacman -Sh
