Any objections to this? It is a longstanding "tradition" that we've had the local prefix, so I want to make sure this isn't a mistake, as this will definitely affect parsing of -Qs information as it can no longer be treated the same as -Ss information.
I expressed my thoughts in the bug report that we keep it as is; I'll await a few more opinions before taking this route. If we do take it, I expect someone to fix the pacsearch script in contrib. :)
It always bugged me that pacman outputs package names in a format that it cannot handle itself. If we want to keep the local/ prefix, we should also support it on every local operations. Not only -R, but also -Q, -Qi, etc.. I am curious about the operations on sync packages though, for example : does pacman -Si handle the repo/ format?
