Installing package with -U and Ignoring Signatures

If I want to install a package using -U but the package isn't signed, can I tell pacman to SigLevel = Never for this one transaction, rather than having to edit pacman.conf, install, then change pacman.conf back?

# pacman -U http://www.example.com/foobar-20130417-1-any.pkg.tar.xz
 foobar-20130417-1-any                     1180.0   B  1152K/s 00:00 [#############################################] 100%
loading packages...
error: /var/cache/pacman/pkg/foobar-20130417-1-any.pkg.tar.xz: signature format errorerror: GPGME error: No data
error: '/var/cache/pacman/pkg/foobar-20130417-1-any.pkg.tar.xz': invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)

Re: Installing package with -U and Ignoring Signatures

As of pacman 4, you can use:

LocalFileSigLevel = Optional

on the basis that it is already on your system and theoretically has passed a check previously...

Re: Installing package with -U and Ignoring Signatures

Not quite what I'm after I don't think; my example (and use case) is installing from a URL...

It might have to do if pacman treats that as a "local" after it downloads it....

That's closer, I've added a comment to that bug to have a --nosig option also. Thx karol smile

Re: Installing package with -U and Ignoring Signatures

LocalFileSigLevel = Never

located on manpages

why this is Trusted by default??


Well, I suppose that this is somekind of signature, no?

Why are local files on your hard drive trusted by default? Probably because you put them there...

Edit: also it is not LocalFileSigLevel when using pacman -U http://...

in this case is unnecesary have a LocalFileSigLevel because a common person Trust in their/yourself and if one going to install any from a local file, what is the point of have this if one troust in theirself
