Hi
I can't find a good way to check for available upgrades without touching the database, as running `pacman -Sy` without `u` isn't supported. Any idea ? Maybe a new pacman switch like "--upstreamdbpath" to toggle change the location of sync/ without touching local/ ?

It can certainly be done. You can always do a "pacman -Su" later, if you want. In your use case, you can probably specify an alternative db path using the --dbpath switch in pacman. In this case, I believe RTFM is an appropiate response. :) Hope it helps. -- Savyasachee Jha *"Aerodynamics is for people whodon't know how to build engines."*
