Jira (PUP-7280) Optimise pacman execution time by running fewer commands

Title: Message Title

Victor Engmark created an issue

PUP-7280

For every package resource Puppet does the following:

Debug: Executing: '/usr/bin/pacman -Sy'

Debug: Executing: '/usr/bin/pacman -Sg package-name'

Debug: Executing: '/usr/bin/pacman -Sp --print-format %v package-name'

That is, refresh the package database, get the names of packages in a group (if the name is a group, otherwise return code 1):

$ pacman -Sg i3

i3 i3-wm

i3 i3lock

i3 i3status

, and finally print the version number of a single package (presumably each package if a group was specified):

$ /usr/bin/pacman -Sp --print-format %v bash

4.4.012-2

It would be simple to join the two latter commands into one, which works both for groups and individual packages:

$ pacman -Sp --print-format '%n %v' i3

libev 4.24-1

yajl 2.1.0-1

i3-wm 4.13-1

i3lock 2.8-1

wireless_tools 30.pre9-1

confuse 3.0-1

i3status 2.11-1

$ pacman -Sp --print-format '%n %v' bash

bash 4.4.012-2
