DetailsSummary and Info:
The pacman is a great packages manager (the best, I think), but suffers in some aspects, those mainly related the organization of information. I think everything starts after `pacman -Su` that shows the packages to be upgraded so disorganized in screen. To organize the mess, I suggest: 1) Organize the presentation of the packages to be installed by repository and show them in alphabetical order; 2) Include the parameter (maybe "-e" ??) to update only packages from repository X (example: pacman -Syue extra ====> the "-r" parameter already exists and can not be used anymore! ); Note: It is clear that if there is dependency between packages in different repositories, the pacman should automatically force the download of the package from another repository that was not specified in parameter "-e". =========================================================================== Steps to Reproduce: $ pacman -Syu Before implementation: ... Target (5): pkg_a, pkg_c, pkg_b, pkg_z, pkg_d ... After implementation: ... Target (5): * core(2): pkg_a, pkg_d * extra (2): pkg_b, pkg_c * community (1): pkg_z ... Sorry about my english. |
