How do I isolate packages (aur dependency hell)
-
I have a few packages that I install from the aur (ffmpeg-full and ssmimulacra2_bin-git) but I have been having some issues with them so I would like to learn what is the recommend way of having access to these packages without interfering with my system packages.
I use ffmpeg-full when I want to mess around with libfdk-aac, and vvenc but I have a few problems with ffmpeg-full, one Is that it takes about 4-8 hours to update. The second issue is dependency hell and my final issues is that some packages only accept regular ffmpeg and will not run without.
I'm only having problems with ssimulacra2 because one of its dependencies
requires a specific version of ffmpeg. If you have any alternatives to this package, they are welcome since I only installed this one in particular because it was listed on the aur.I was thinking of using Docker to accomplish this task, but I have no idea how to start. Is this the wrong path to go?
Thank you for you time.

Does aur or Pacman support package pinning like Debian based releases?
