Me too, but it would be nice to keep the older -Sp option for --print-uris, because everybody know it so :)
I didn't mean to drop it
but would you keep your new feature on top of these two options :
--print-pkg and --print-uris only show non-download packages --print-pkg --print-pkg and --print-uris --print-uris show all ?
I think -Sp/-Spp is good for the uris related.
I don't think you got it. What I was saying is that --print-pkg and --print-uris are very similar options. So it would be quite strange to not apply the same behavior to both.
Yeah, I agree with you.
But since --print-pkgs is only a long option, we would need to use --print-pkg --print-pkg which is very ugly ... Is it clearer now ?
--print-pkgs seems fine for me, the later one isn't so beautiful in fact, but when i say this i see the point of user, not the view from programmer/developer, because i'm not professional now in details.
an alternative : what if we added the download size when ShowSize is used?
I think it's a good idea, more information is better generally :)
With alternative, I meant alternative. i.e. I would not take your -Sp/-Spp patch, but only add the download size when ShowSize is used. Would you be fine with that?
Ah-so, I think it would be better to add it as a new feature, not an alternative. Maybe I'm wrong with my answers, because I don't know pacman in details so, like you, but i try to improve this feature from me, thanks :)
