[ask] replace apt with pacman as default package manager

[rendiix]

can pacman replace apt as Termux default packag manager? Will termux official provide a mirrored termux package in pacman format?

[Maxython]

Unfortunately, I cannot give a specific answer, but I think and am sure that pacman will become another default package manager for termux. But this is clearly not coming soon as there are problems with hosting.

When this problem is resolved and all termux packages are in pacman format, I will discuss this solution with the termux command.

Sounds really good, thanks for your hard work.

I have a little problem, what does the error message below mean?

[Maxython]

Try it:

mkdir -p $PREFIX/var/lib/pacman/sync
mkdir -p $PREFIX/var/lib/pacman/local
pacman -Fy
pacman -Syu

Thanks, works perfectly.
