From 250331a636699561e1239e341f30f2adfebbcb43 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chantry Xavier Date: Thu, 22 Nov 2007 21:01:45 +0100 Subject: Add new --needed option for -S. During a pacman operation such as a group install, pacman can ask several questions such as "local version is up to date. Upgrade anyway?". They are usually all answered either by yes or by no: * yes when you want to reinstall all the targets. * no when you only want to install the missing ones (either because you are installing a group, or because you are copying a pacman -S line from wiki or whatever). So instead of asking this question for each target, it is now now configured with a flag. Yes will be the default -S behavior, No will be achieved with the --needed flag.
