Have pacmatic wrap yay wrap powerpill wrap pacman

.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}

I have a few preferences in regards to managing packages on Manjaro / Arch:

pacmatic adds safety features when installing packages

yay provides a consistent interface to both the official and AUR packages

powerpill for parallel, accelerated downloading of packages

pacman with /etc/pacman.conf options Color and UseDelta (for the win)

How can I have pacmatic call yay using powerpill instead of pacman?

In your (non-root) user's ~/.bashrc, add:

alias pac=aurman   # For convenience



# pacmatic needs to be run as root: https://github.com/keenerd/pacmatic/issues/35

alias pacmatic='sudo --preserve-env=pacman_program /usr/bin/pacmatic'



# Downgrade permissions as AUR helpers expect to be run as a non-root user

# $UID is read-only in {ba,z}sh.

alias aurman='pacman_program="sudo -u #$UID /usr/bin/aurman --optimistic_versioning" pacmatic'

alias pakku=' pacman_program="sudo -u #$UID /usr/bin/pakku" pacmatic'



# Use powerpill as pacman wrapper if installed

[[ -x /usr/bin/powerpill ]] && export PACMAN=/usr/bin/powerpill

Now when typing (for example) aurman, this will invoke pacmatic for safety, which will in turn execute aurman which will use powerpill for fast downloading.
