Git for Windows 安装 pacman 包管理器

Git for Windows 是 Git 官方的 Windows 版本，它是基于 MSYS2-Mingw-w64 的，所以 Git for Windows 也是一个微型的 MSYS2。

但是 Git for Windows 安装后却没有 MSYS2 的包管理器 pacman，可以考虑手动安装。

网上大部分博客的描述都已经过时，有的需要去外网下载依赖。折腾之后记录一种简易的安装方式。

下载依赖

pacman

去到 MSYS2 官网下载 pacman：
主页：https://packages.msys2.org/package/pacman
地址：https://mirror.msys2.org/msys/x86_64/pacman-6.1.0-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
镜像：https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/msys2/msys/x86_64/pacman-6.1.0-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

依赖

在 pacman 页面介绍中发现需要许多依赖:

• base
• base-devel
• pacman-contrib
• pactoys
• pacutils
• pacutils-devel
• pkgfile
• python-pyalpm (make)

不过其中大部分的依赖都已经存在了，只需要补充两个必选的子依赖：

• pacman-mirrors
  主页：https://packages.msys2.org/package/pacman-mirrors
  地址：https://mirror.msys2.org/msys/x86_64/pacman-mirrors-20240523-1-any.pkg.tar.zst
  镜像：https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/msys2/msys/x86_64/pacman-mirrors-20240523-1-any.pkg.tar.zst
• msys2-keyring
  主页：https://packages.msys2.org/package/msys2-keyring
  地址：https://mirror.msys2.org/msys/x86_64/msys2-keyring-1~20240410-2-any.pkg.tar.zst
  镜像：https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/msys2/msys/x86_64/msys2-keyring-1~20240410-2-any.pkg.tar.zst

安装

将上面的三个软件包下载到本地，然后需要进行“安装”。

使用压缩软件打开上面的三个压缩软件包，将其中的文件夹解压到 Git for Windows 的安装目录下（比如我的安装目录是：C:\Program Files\Git\）。

可以使用 7-Zip 或 Bandizip 等支持 zstd 压缩格式的软件。

正常情况完成操作后打开 Git bash，可以运行 pacman -Sy 命令，并且会报错：

$ pacman -Sy

初始化

错误提示提示密钥库没有初始化，需要初始化密钥库。

以管理员身份打开 Git bash，运行以下命令完成密钥库初始化：

1. pacman-db-upgrad

   $ pacman-db-upgrade
   

2. pacman-key --init

   $ pacman-key --init
   gpg: /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created
   gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found

   $ pacman-key --populate msys2
   /usr/bin/pacman-key: line 631: /usr/bin/gettext: No such file or directory

   gpg: next trustdb check due at 2024-10-07
   

然后就可以使用 pacman 命令了。

问题记录

权限问题

需要注意：pacman 命令会读写 Git for Windows 的安装目录，操作这个目录有可能是需要使用管理员权限的，所以需要以管理员身份打开 Git bash。

这是没有给管理员权限时候的报错：

$ pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed to synchronize all databases (unable to lock database)

这是正常情况下的执行结果：

$ pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 clangarm64 is up to date
 mingw32 is up to date
 mingw64 is up to date
 ucrt64 is up to date
 clang32 is up to date
 clang64 is up to date
 msys is up to date
:: Starting core system upgrade...
 there is nothing to do
:: Starting full system upgrade...
 there is nothing to do

报错文件存在

由于 Git for Windows 自带的软件程序文件不是经过 pacman 安装的，所以后续安装软件的时候，尝尝会因为软件包覆盖安装报错文件已经存在：

$ echo "Y" | pacman -S bash
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...

Packages (1) bash-5.2.026-1

Total Installed Size:  11.73 MiB

这个时候可以考虑强制覆盖安装，加上 --overwrite="*" 参数：

$ echo "Y" | pacman -S --overwrite="*" bash
warning: bash-5.2.026-1 is up to date -- reinstalling
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...

初始化系统

为了避免日后使用 pacman 冲突，可以考虑“重装”基本系统：

$ echo "Y" | pacman -S --overwrite="*" base

注意这条命令最后可能会一直报错，关闭窗口即可。

使用

1、安装软件包
   pacman S package_name：安装指定的软件包。
   pacman Sy：自动更新系统并安装所有可升级的软件包。
   pacman Syu：自动更新系统、升级所有可升级的软件包以及安装新添加的软件源中的软件包。

2、删除软件包
   pacman R package_name：删除指定的软件包及其配置文件。
   pacman Rn package_name：仅删除指定的软件包，保留配置文件。
   pacman Rsc：删除系统中不再需要的所有软件包及其配置文件。

3、搜索软件包
   pacman Qs package_name：搜索系统中是否安装了指定的软件包。
   pacman Ql package_name：列出系统中已安装的指定软件包的详细信息。

4、查询软件包信息
   pacman Si package_name：显示指定软件包的详细信息，包括版本号、依赖关系等。
   pacman Fl package_name：显示指定软件包的文件列表。

5、清理缓存和下载的软件包
   pacman Sc：清理Pacman缓存，即清除本地数据库中的无效或过期的软件包信息。
   pacman U download_directory/*.pkg.tar.xz：从指定的目录中安装下载的软件包。

6、查看系统信息
   pacman Q：显示系统中已安装的所有软件包及其状态。
   pacman Qe：显示系统中可用的所有扩展和内核模块。
   pacman Qi：显示系统中所有已安装的软件包的详细信息。

7、其他常用命令
   pacman H：显示帮助信息，列出所有可用的Pacman命令及其用法。
   pacman T：检查系统中是否有未满足的软件包依赖关系。
   pacman Sdd：删除系统中所有不再需要的软件包及其配置文件，同时进行磁盘空间清理。
