+1 on making -g work both for -S and -R.
However, why don't we do the following for backwards compatability: 1. pacman -S grppkg: look for a package named grppkg, then group 2. pacman -Sg grppkg: look for a group named grppkg (and ignore a package if there is one) 3. pacman -R grppkg: only remove a package named grppkg (I don't
group removal is used enough to warrant keeping backwards compat) 4. pacman -Rg grppkg: remove a group named grppkg IMHO that would be a bit confusing. And differentiate between group and package install would help to keep the code clean.
Which part exactly is confusing?
I understand Dan's idea, but 1. I don't like "undeterministic" things, so if I (or crond ;-) do a "pacman -Sy favgrp", I want to do a group install independent from the current state of sync repos (today pacman may install a group, tomorrow pacman may install a

2. Why should I do "pacman -S favgrp", when I can do "pacman -Sg favgrp"? 3. Personally, I didn't like the current method either (pacman -S group).
Just so we're clear, it's only the backward compatibility of 1. that you don't like, right? Of course, sorry, if I wasn't clear. +1 for -Sg and -Rg
