Description

running pacman-venv venv asks for sudo password for "Installing base environment"

can it be rootless?

Same for installing packages in the venv, it asks for sudo password.

What alternatives have you considered?

Description

Hey, thanks for taking the time to make this awesome tool.

I'm unable to activate a virtual environment when using any shell other than bash. This is really more of a minor annoyance (I can just switch to bash easily enough), but I wasn't sure if this was identified by you and/or intentional for some reason.

I'm happy to provide you with any additional information you might need from my configuration.

To Reproduce

1. Ensure a non-bash environment is activated: - zsh
2. Create a new virtual environment: pacman-venv test-env
3. Activate the virtual environment: source test-venv/bin/pacman-venv-activate
4. Observe stderr stream:

realpath: '': No such file or directory
create_path:read:2: bad option: -a

5. Observe stderr of pacman command: zsh: no such file or directory: ./.pacman-venv-pacman
6. Activate bash shell: bash
7. Observe virtual environment is properly activated with source test-venv/bin/pacman-venv-activate
8. Observe successful execution of test command: pacman -Qs

Expected Behavior

A pacman-venv virtual environment can be successfully created regardless of the active shell environment

Version

pacman-venv --version: Pacman Virtual Environment v0.1

First of all, thanks SO MUCH for this project! I was looking for something exactly like this, being a Python's virtualenv enthusiast.

Small issue I found: When I activate a new pacman-venv, the name of the virtual environment will not appear in the prompt to indicate it's active.

It still seems to be working fine, since both pacman and yay binaries are the ones from the venv.

❯ which yay
/home/matmat/dev/3d-gaussian-splat/pacvenv/pacman-venv-shims/yay

❯ which pacman
/home/matmat/dev/3d-gaussian-splat/pacvenv/pacman-venv-shims/pacman

For the record, python's virtualenv show up as expected in the prompt.

❯ python3 -m virtualenv python-venv-test
❯ source python-venv-test/bin/activate

To Reproduce

Create new virtual env pacvenv: pacman-venv pacvenv
Activate it running source pacvenv/bin/pacman-venv-activate
Notice that the virtual env name does not show up in the prompt (although it's active).
