According to man pacman: -w, --downloadonly Retrieve all packages from the server, but do not install/upgrade anything.
-u, --sysupgrade Upgrades all packages that are out of date. pacman will examine every package installed on the system, and if a newer package exists on the server it will upgrade. pacman will present a report of all packages it wants to upgrade and will not proceed without user confirmation. Dependencies are automatically resolved at this level and will be installed/upgraded if necessary. I tried to do # pacman -Sw expecting for a download of all packages, without install/upgrade. Nothing happened. # pacman -Suw worked, but it isn't obvious from the man page. As I currently see it, -w is a SUB-option of -u. I believe this should be somehow clearified (there might be more SUB-options there). Maybe it should be a bit clarified what options can be used at the same time, what options are actually suboptions... etc. Mircea /IceRAM -- http://mircea.bardac.net
