By default a diferent folder to cache of pacman

ilkyest · 2012-01-31 02:18:35

I try understand if it's possible.

I've installed arch with a 10Gb partition, and now I'm having troubles with free space. There's some way that could I use change default place of pacman's cache?

It'll be in /home/user folder. I've created a folder there....but, I forget use the "default dir option" on pacman.

Another issue.... does yaourt will use the same folder to?

Look in pacman.conf...

oh yeah..... Just look close......

no problem doing this? does arch won't be "confused"?

pacman devs explicitly created an option to do this, so I think pacman can handle it.

Look in yaourt's config and man page to find out how it works.

I use that option in all my installs, so it works... No idea what yaourt will do, but given it is a wrapper to pacman, it should work too.

It will not store the .xz files created my makepkg in the pacman cache. It puts them into /tmp, where they are safe…

It will store them where you tell it to store ...

Yeah, sure. I should have added "if you only specify the location in the pacman.conf and not in yaourt's config file".

karol · 2012-01-31 13:57:32

makepkg has its own config file.
