I am talking about "-S target" not about -Su (sync_newversion). 1. Target is newer: usual case, no warning 2. Reinstall was requested (local_ver == target_ver): Skipping/Reinstalling foo... (1.0-1 => 1.0-1) 3. Target is older: Downgrading foo... (2.0-1 => 1.0-1)
Ok then, I guess we more or less keep the same behavior. We just need to make a better distinction between 2 and 3, which is why I changed the _alpm_pkg_compare_versions function. Here is a new patch (inlined for comments, attached to be sure that it will apply cleanly)
From 0cbe750a2fbaf0e43055d8c2c9a1b3dcec7089b9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xavier Chantry <shiningxc@gmail.com> Date: Sat, 31 May 2008 15:06:30 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Cleanup of _alpm_pkg_compare_versions.
* Change the return values to be more informative. It was previously boolean, only indicating if one package was newer than the other or not. Now it is a simple wrapper to vercmp, handling the force flag. * Remove the verbose output. This belongs somewhere else. * Don't display the "up to date -- skipping" and "up to date -- reinstalling" messages, when the local version is newer than the sync one. * Fix the behavior of --needed option to not skip a target when the local version is newer, and clarify its description. * Add a new alpm_pkg_has_force function This allows us to access the pkg->force field like any other package fields.
