I would like to use Ungoogled Chromium, but all the binaries that I have found for Arch have systemd as a dependency, apart from the package in the Artix repository. I know that I could use pacman -U to install it manually everytime that Artix bumps to a new version, but I wanted a more "automated" way and appended the whole Artix repository to pacman.conf (of course after importing and locally signing the key). Because I appended the repo at the bottom of the file, it should be unlikely that I break the system after sync'ing and upgrading, but from a philosophical point of view, I reject the idea of "bastardizing" Obarun with Artix.
My question is: is there a way to append the repo so that pacman could ONLY pick up this specific package while ignoring all the rest? Thanks, any help appreciated.

Thanks, I wonder if there is also a way to permanently add the "--assume-installed=systemd" option to pacman.conf for this specific package. Otherwise, when I run pacman - Syu it would not automatically update the package and I should use pacman with that option every time that a new version is available.
UPDATE: I have appended an alias to .zshrc: update="sudo pacman -Syu --assume-installed=systemd". Marking as closed for now.
