Hello!

It's nice if the output of -Si options would contain the 'Required By' field like in case of -Qi.
Maybe It would be slower procedure at this momment, but with the final solution, tar backend, it won't be so much time i hope :)

Thanks in advance.
This task depends upon

So required by on your computer, or in the whole repo?

I guess he wants the whole repo.

So instead of looking at only one entry in the repo.
We would have to look at... ALL of them.

So if database access time was not a concern, I don't think I'd object to this, although you may want to show it under -Sii as the list would get very long for some [core] packages.

We do this for a local database, where getting -Qi output requires reading the whole local DB. I'd be fine with doing this for the sync DB, and maybe that would encourage us to make our DB faster.

Thanks the feedbacks.

@Allan: the whole repo
@Dan: I think so, encouragement is a good thing in most cases :)

Definitely an -Sii candidate!
