Run the PBWrapper main function.

pkgbuilder.wrapper.wrapper(source='AUTO')[source]

A wrapper for pacman and PKGBUILDer.

This is the wrapper for pacman and PKGBUILDer, bin/pb. It is a complete mess, but at least it works. All the arguments it gets are passed to pacman, unless the operation is -S. Then, an additional check is made.

For -S and -Si requests, the packages are checked, one by one, if they are in the AUR. If one is, pkgbuilder -Si is requested. If not, all error handling is left to pacman.

For -Ss and -Syu requests, they are passed to both managers, complete with additional arguments applicable to one or another.

Note

Actually, pkgbuilder isn’t called as a subprocess, the arguments are just passed to the main() function, so no time is wasted on reloading everything.
