Um, no.... I missed that completely.
I think your version is the much cleaner way to do this. However, it still prints the warning messages ("forcing upgrade" & "is newer than") in _alpm_pkg_compare_versions when using --print-uris and --downloadonly.
But note that my patch totally removes the "uptodate -- skipping" and "uptodate -- reinstalling" messages. I am still wondering whether we want them or not. They might be informative when there is a small number of targets, but when you want to install / reinstall a group : pacman -S base or to complete a group with the missing packages : pacman -S --needed base then it is totally unreadable and useless. Maybe an indicator which shows which targets are already up-to-date would be more useful. Or even always showing the currently installed version of each targets, which is imo a very useful information. Like that column based output did : http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2008-March/011315.html
