Hi, I made a little program in C, package-query to query alpm and aur. He takes an option to format his output and I'm wondering if this feature can be implemented in pacman (just for alpm of course).I think I can provide a patch to implement it for queries like -{Q,S}s with an option --format, but I don't know if it could interest. To see how it renders, you can try package-query-git from AUR, example: $ # repo/name version [local version] $ package-query -Ss pacman -f "%r/%n %v [%l]" core/pacman 3.3.3-1 [3.3.3-1] core/pacman-mirrorlist 20100131-1 [20100131-1] extra/namcap 2.5-1 [2.5-1] extra/srcpac 0.7-1 [-] community/pacman-contrib 3.3.3-1 [3.3.3-1] community/pacpan 4.0-4 [-] community/pacupdate 0.1.1-2 [-] community/powerpill 17.1-1 [17.1-1] community/xpacman 0.11-4 [-] community/xpacman2 1.002-2 [-] btw, thanks for the work done in alpm, I found it quite simple to understand even if there is no documentation :)
Something like this was just pulled into the git master branch: http://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.git/commit/?id=d39b1dbe Allan
