world-file gentoo like in pacman?

Hello

I'm a refugee from gentoo, to run aground arch

My problem:

I want to install a application from the AUR-"tree".
I download it and run makepkg, so it tells me, that there are some depending packages not installed on the system.
Now i want to install them, but only as packages, marked as "depency" for install reason, cause thats fact.
But if i run pacman -S <package> its installed as a expliciet with of me.

In gentoo, there is an option called --oneshot, for marking the packages NOT as expliciet wish.

Whats the common way, to handle this?

from man makepkg :

-s, --syncdeps
              Install  missing  dependencies  using pacman. When missing build-time or run-time dependencies
              are found, pacman will try to resolve them. If successful, the missing packages will be  down-
              loaded and installed.

that works, thanks. But there is a little thing, that stresses me.

I dont want to make makepkg as root, thats why i use fakeroot.

makepkg -s makes the package automatically after installing the depencies.

I allways have to use strg+c to stop it, re-login as user and then run it again,
often i have to use rm as root before, to remove some files, that are owned by the user root,
so makepkg as user can't run correctly, because if the permissions.

I'm realy the first user, that has a problem with this?

....re-login...use alt+ctrl+Fx (x number from 1 to 7) to switch between terminals. And You can be logged into them with different users.

hi eichi,

Try makepkg -Ssoe
This will call pacman with a sudo command (i.e. doesn't require you to execute makepkg as root) and it will neither extract nor build the package. (At least according to man makepkg)
