Hello,
I'm reopening this discussion. A few time ago, I proposed to "grey" explicit package name. Finally it was judged as confusing.
Instead I propose to display only the package type during verbose package listing. To achieve this, I splitted the packages table into two tables, the one for explicit packages, and the other for dependencies, examples:
$ pacman -S epiphany [sudo] password for guillaume: resolving dependencies... looking for conflicting packages...
Package (1) New Version Net Change Download Size
extra/epiphany 3.12.0-1 6.89 MiB 1.48 MiB
Dependency (3) New Version Net Change Download Size
extra/gcr 3.12.0-1 5.42 MiB 0.77 MiB extra/libwnck3 3.4.7-1 2.85 MiB extra/libxres 1.0.7-1 0.02 MiB
Total Download Size: 2.25 MiB Total Installed Size: 15.17 MiB
$ pacman -Rs gitg checking dependencies...
Package (1) Old Version Net Change
gitg 0.3.2-1 -1.41 MiB
Dependency (8) Old Version Net Change
geoclue 0.12.99-1 -1.02 MiB gtksourceview3 3.12.1-1 -6.78 MiB ...
Feedback needed ;)
Anybody want to comment on this? I do not use the verbose table so have no opinion on whether this information is useful and if it is clear. Allan
