[your system sanity] Make it conflict like your-freedom
0%
Description
your system sanity prevents installation of some packages but does not conflict with them.
It becomes an issue if your-system-sanity is installed after one of these packages. When doing pacman -Syu if updated package is blacklisted, upgrade will be aborted and user will be required to manually remove blacklisted package or your system sanity.

That exact change is already planned the use of the ALPM_hook did not work out as planned due to limitations of ALPM_hooks.
Original plan was to have the warning then ask if the user wished to proceed. Sadly you can not do user interactions from an ALPM hook.

Looks like it will prevent installation after package is downloaded. Why waste time?
Updated by bill-auger over 4 years ago
the packages that are downloaded are free software - that is not
the issue - this is about warning people that these programs
have the potential to download other software - just as librejs
warns people about using the web
it is not a waste of time because the alternative is
blacklisting them or the intractable task of filtering all
of their repos and hosting them elsewhere
