But my new provision selection inspired to both Jakob and Dan that we could have the same for groups, so I went ahead and implemented it over the weekend.
Do it like yaourt (it prompts the user when doing -Syu) and open an editor with one package per line. If a user doesn't want to install a certain package he can just delete or comment(#) the line.
I don't know how to handle dependencies here (foo needs bar, but the user removes bar), but I think you could just ask for those with a simple yes/no afterwards.
I did think some time ago that it should not be too hard to write a pacman wrapper handling interactive group install. But I did not know yaourt had that feature, that's interesting. I like 'rebase -i' a lot, never thought of using that for groups. But well, if it's already in yaourt, why bother doing the same thing again in pacman ?
