Throwing the project manager speak into this here- it isn't getting into 3.1. This will be a great kickoff for 3.2 major changes though.
You sure you still want to stand by this? I think this change might actually close out like 3 or 4 bugs on the 3.1 tracker... I say push it, but I'll let you be the judge.
The project manager didn't realize how easy this change actually would be. :) If no one else has any objections, then I'd like to merge my changes tonight. We (anyone want to volunteer) also need to make a tool to remove requiredby entries. I took an initial stab at it using libalpm, then I realized we have no explicit mechanism to tell the backend to write to the DB. Does this sound like something we should expose, or is it too low level? BTW, the reason for the tool is simple (responding to earlier emails in the thread)- keeping stale entries around is confusing for users AND any scripts that may have used it. -Dan
