From 5b51dbb11e2087e1055be24b486502be806b5e13 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xavier Chantry Date: Sat, 31 May 2008 15:06:30 +0200 Subject: Cleanup of _alpm_pkg_compare_versions. * 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.
