From 1d19f0896ccc1560a7e2f5b93cfe095b4aefe84a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nagy Gabor Date: Thu, 14 May 2009 18:25:16 +0200 Subject: Introduce -Suu If the user switches from unstable repo to a stable one, it is quite hard to sync its system with the new repo (the user will see many "Local is newer than stable" messages, nothing more). That's why I introduced -Suu, which treats a sync package like an upgrade, iff the package version doesn't match with the local one's. I added a new pactest (sync104.py) to test this, and I updated the documentation of -Su.
