what about to the following improvement: old:

$ sudo pacman -S misc-fonts --ignore corefonts :: group misc-fonts: corefonts fontconfig fontforge :: Install whole content? [Y/n] :: corefonts-1.3r4-4: local version is up to date. Upgrade anyway? [Y/n] :: fontforge-20060125-1: local version is up to date. Upgrade anyway? [Y/n]

resolving dependencies... done. looking for inter-conflicts... done.

comments?

As of now, IgnorePkg is a "-Su" option only. It this enhancement is really needed, it would make sense to extend it to the whole "-S" code, and not only for groups. the most cautious users would probably be happy with it, whereas the other ones would get annoyed... I've got no strong opinion here. -- Aurelien
