pacman

[lucasanss]

so I installed command-not-found from the repos, and one of my functions in my default .bashrc calls pacman, so command-not-found suggested I install it from the repos.

I searched Google for any sort of documentation related to Alpine Linux and pacman, but Alpine Linux's documentation is basically non-existent. I was wondering if anyone here had any experience with pacman on Alpine.

is it configured for Alpine's packages? is it just a placeholder for a chroot Arch install, or a fast path to installing Arch within an Alpine install?

I absolutely detest the apk system, and I love pacman. if Alpine were capable of using pacman instead for a regular install I would certainly try that out, but my worry after looking at the APKBUILD is that there's no hint of configuring sources for Alpine.

any input would be appreciated

>> Bro, Alpine comes with its own package manager `apk`. It is faster than pacman.
Run `apk --help` for help. Also, check out this article for man pages* in Alpine**
