From 6b1deedf15d14e426e5450b759710e8782c22ab3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: wgiokas <1007380@gmail.com> Date: Mon, 19 Nov 2012 18:51:06 -0600 Subject: Add --needed option to makepkg Simply add the option to pass the --needed flag to pacman when using -i with makepkg. When using makepkg in scripts, particularly for git packages with the new version functions and not just a date, this can save disk io and time instead of reinstalling. This would mostly be useful with the --noconfirm option.
