Hi!
# pacman -S ttf-ms-fonts warning: ttf-ms-fonts-2.0-1 is up to date -- reinstalling
It was asking user for confirmation before which I think was logical, because if user just forgot he/she has this package installed - this would allow to avoid creating of unnecessary .pacnew files.
Either I missed this change or forgot about it. Could someone enlighten me why this was done
I can remember this. Basically, it was decided that if a user did "pacman -S package" then they obviously wanted the package reinstalled. The thinking was: Why else would you do that if it was already installed? However, I can't find the thread/bug report I saw it in....
Although maybe i dreamed that and this commit caused it... :) http://projects.archlinux.org/git/?p=pacman.git;a=commit;h=250331a636699561e...
