While pretty rare, there certainly can be occasions where an official
static pacman could be pretty helpful to have.
Its fairly non-trivial to build a static pacman since we don't have
archive libs readily available for the 38 packages it depends on (at
least that I can see). (…)
Hello,
Morganamilo maintains a PKGBUILD in AUR⁽¹⁾ and the pinned comment
links to the pre-build binary.⁽²⁾ Moranamilo is an official Arch PM⁽³⁾
and that binary is signed (.sig) with their key. One can verify using
official Arch’s keyring:
pacman-key --verify pacman-static.sig pacman-static
Cheers, mpan
