hal is Antergos NeXT package manager with two modes:
hal install <pkg> — wrapper mode (delegates to pacman)
hal --self install <pkg> — native mode (standalone, no pacman dep)
Native mode implements:
- Sync DB download and parsing (pacman-compatible)
- Recursive dependency resolution
- .pkg.tar.zst extraction via bsdtar
- .INSTALL scriptlet execution (post_install, post_remove)
- Local DB management (pacman-compatible /var/lib/pacman/local/)
- Package info, file listing, search
- Cache management
Full HAL 9000 personality with quotes for errors, warnings, success.
I am putting myself to the fullest possible use.
