Instead of adding several options, wouldn't it be possible to let "-p" accept a string argument with formatting information similar to the way the date command works. This would be extensible in the future and could include the following interpretted sequences (among others)
%u - url %n - pkgname %v - pkgver-pkgrel %s - size
%r - repo
I think the repo would be very useful as well.
btw the copy/paste were my previous --print patch which did not have the --print-format option. my new patch has %u %n %v, and adding %s and %r will be easy as well. one problem is that url and repo are only available for the -S operation. or maybe url could just be replaced by the filename for -U and -R. and repo by 'local'
