An apt-like wrapper for pacman.
In order to run this software, you need Python, it does not matter what version (provided it is updated enough), mspac will only run in Python 3.
You can (and you are encouraged to) use pip in order to retrieve the package from PyPI:
sudo pip install mspac
Then run it without arguments (mspac), to check the available options.
Alternately, just clone this repository and execute mspac/mspac_tool.py with the supported arguments.
mspac [-h] [operation [packages ...]]
Add '-f' or '--force' to force operations in case of errors.
The following command will install package1 and package2:
mspac install package1 package2
Remove package1 and package2:
mspac remove package1 package2
You can easily update the databases and upgrade all packages:
mspac update
Updates the databases, and upgrades all packages that are not up-to-date:
mspac upgrade
Updates the repositories and then updates all packages that are not up-to-date:
mspac sync
Note: update, upgrade and sync are commands that obtain the same result.
Remove packages that are no longer needed in the system:
mspac autoremove
