Hi all
I'm still getting my head around git and pacman-dev's workflow - I know its not that complicated, just need a bit of time.
When using --noconfirm the prompt is presented (odd part) and the user (rightly) is not given an opportunity to confirm:
[ brendan@swift : 12:36:40 : ~/src/pacman ] :) sudo pacman -Sc --noconfirm Cache directory: /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ Do you want to remove outdated packages from cache? [Y/n] <------ removing old packages from cache... done. Database directory: /var/lib/pacman/ Do you want to remove unused repositories? [Y/n] <------ Database directory cleaned up [ brendan@swift : 12:36:57 : ~/src/pacman ] :)
Best fix I can think of is to just mention that we're using a default because the --noconfirm flag has been used. The alternative (which is less informative for the user) is to not present the prompt at all.
If you add another sentence, it's redundant imo. pacman already shows the default answer in upper case, so we already know that Yes was chosen in both cases, automatically because of --noconfirm.
