Maybe they should be logged into /var/log/pacman.log as well as being
shown on the screen.
I think creating a 'standardised' format is really taking it a step
too far, we dont want to be debian. Standardisation is good, but to a
level. Above that, it gets ridiculous.
So long as the message is readable, I really see absolutely no reason
to create a standard format.
Yeah, that's the thing tho isn't it, it's not always readable - how many
times have you missed install messages that were poorly formated that
you simply "Lost" amongst all the other pacman out put? Having a
recognised "good way of doing it" (TM) does no one any harm
However, as for logging, I think that's an excellent idea, as many a
times I have wanted to read an install message, but missed it due to
the amount of packages being upgraded
