For the Pacscript Maintainers

Note

This update addresses a new feature from the 5.3.0 (Release).
Refer to the release notes when updating pacscripts in the official or third party repos.

pkgbase overrides

depends was missing from .SRCINFO generation for child packages. checkconflicts has also been enabled for overrides.

child pkgbase calls for local scripts

You may run the following syntax, like from an upstream repo, to install child packages:

pacstall -I /path/to/package.pacscript # brings up the prompt
pacstall -I /path/to/package.pacscript:pkgbase # brings up the prompt
pacstall -I /path/to/package.pacscript:${child} # selects only the child
