DetailsI was just thinking about the idea of allowing pacman to read from stdin for some operations, like -S. This would be great for people that want to upgrade from i686 to x86_64 with exactly the same software installed. That way they would just do (for example) pacman -Qi > packagelist, and on their new system do pacman -S < packagelist.
I've had this situation a few times, like when moving an old installation that uses i686 to newer hardware that's 64 bit capable. Just a thought. |

Reason for closing: Won't implement
Additional comments about closing: Not a very common operation, and comment suggestion should handle majority of cases.

"cat packagelist | xargs pacman -S" should produce the same results you are looking for, however.
