Hi, Recently the alpm_db_get_{pkg,grp}cache() functions were renamed to alpm_db_get_{pkg,grp}cache()[1]. Since this is a public API change, shouldn't the old functions perhaps simply be deprecated and "alias" the new functions, instead of dropping them completely? I'd imagine this would potentially break some front-ends if libalpm gets updated, as was the case with a project of mine. [1]: commit: d05882db9e417244fa580c4697b45333faffcc79
