But on most WIKI, when installing a new package is needed, I always find this command:
*$pacman -S packagenam*
As by definition WIKI will often adress to newbies, my thought was to replace whenever I find the above command by this following one:
*$pacman -Sy packagenam*
In that way, newbies will very quickly take the good and sain habit of running the *-y *option when installing a new package on their box.
Any idea if it could be worthwile for the comuunity?
Explicit pacman command as installation instruction given on the wiki has been deprecated: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Help:Style#Package_management_instructi... "to avoid errors such as pacman -Sy package or possibly never-ending discussions like the choice between pacman -S package and pacman -Syu package" So, I believe it solves the dilemma.
