Details

Description:
When updating a lot of packages, both optional deps and install information may be lost because of the console scroll.
It would be nice to provide a mechanism to display this information only at the very end of the upgrade.
For example, Gentoo provides a way to do this by using the einfo function from a ebuild script: each einfo displays the message, but it will be displayed again at the end of the process.

This is very convenient to avoid missing any optional deps or crucial information to make a package working correctly.

Additional info:
* pacman, any version


Steps to reproduce:
1. Upgrade a lot of packages
2. Info about optional dependance is readable, but may disappear
3. Important information about configuring/installing a package may also disappear
This task depends upon

Sorry I missed that one.
I now understand it's ok to just look at the pacman.log.
Thanks and sorry for that useless ticket! ;)
