Laconic? Heh. On Nov 12, 2007 6:14 AM, Nagy Gabor <ngaba@bibl.u-szeged.hu> wrote:
When I made the previously posted speed tests, I noticed that -Si hides lots of info. Is there any special reason for this (we are not proud of our packagers for example;-) or we just forgot to update dump_pkg_sync in pacman/package.c? I think that dump_pkg_sync should be merged to dump_pkg_full (with a new is_local input parameter for example) to keep -Qi and -Si in sync. And this is a good time (just before the 3.1 release) to review -Qi too.
This is a good point, but also keep in mind that sync DBs and local DBs do not contain the exact same information.
I would do this, but I'm not sure that you would like an "ngaba-English" special edition of pacman :-)
This should be simple enough if you're just combining the two dump_pkg_* functions. A patch would be nice
