[pacman-dev] [PATCH] Cleanup of _alpm_pkg_compare_versions.

Fri Aug 22 17:02:31 EDT 2008


* Change the return values to be more informative.

It was previously boolean, only indicating if a sync package was newer than
a local package.

Now it is a simple wrapper to vercmp, handling the force flag.

* Remove the verbose output from _alpm_pkg_compare_versions.

The "force" message is not so useful.
The "package : local (v1) is newer than repo (v2)" message can be moved to
-Su operation.
For the -S operation, it is better to have something like :
"downgrading package from v1 to v2"

* 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.
