Ah thanks, these examples help too. I honestly have never needed something like -So, so I don't know the use cases
I'd like to point out again that -So or something similar is one of the most requested features from users.
That doesn't sound empirical. According to flyspray votes (the only empirical evidence we have), signed packages are #1:
Hey, votes for packages were introduced way after very demanded bugs were filed, so votes doesn't mean much for my opinion about bug's importance.

I agree it's requested a lot, but no more than, say, sqlite backends and the like.
Still, like Dan, I'm neutral. I don't care. But what I *do* care about is json/xml parsing integration into pacman. I'm just going to say "no" on that.
Sure, no json/xml/yaml/etc. parsing in pacman. A separare script - maybe. /me shrugs. As for tarball consisting of all packages' filelists - it would be nice if the script could rsync it (like abs in future).
Heh, the last message in Repo filename search thread on arch-general is interesting. :-) -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
